 |  Lawnmower Blenney VERY Skinny
Seems like the only time I post is when I have a problem :'( Anyway, there isn't much algae for him to feed on so I give him the regular stuff my other fish eat. He eats it no problem but I just don't think he is getting enough. The problem is I can't just keep feeding because the other fish will have too much. Is there something else I could give him to eat that the other fish won't touch? He just looks like he's withering away. Thanks all.

I would try a veggie clip with some nori. (sushi wrapper) Tangs love the stuff, and their diet is very similar. _________ -Mickey 175g Bowfront - 75g Refugium - 100g Sump - 3 Phoenix 14k 250W MH - AquaC EV240 Skimmer - 240lbs Haitian Live Rock - 4" DSB - Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse - Azure Damsel - Banggia Cardinal - Firefish Goby - Blackcap Basslet - Purple Tang - Powder Brown Tang - Regal Tang - Green Manderin - 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - 2 Peppermint Shrimp - 2 Emerald Crabs - Rose BTA - Orange Linkia - Tuxedo Urchin - Spiney Urchin (hitchhiker) | |

I would target feed him with a feeding stick (skewer) with some spirulina based foods. _________ Yes, tiny has an 11" legspan......  | |

The turkey baster works well for me. I feed the other fish first and then I save some for my blenny. He takes it just as it is coming out of the baster. A number of people have told me that you don't need to spot feed these guys but I have found that it is necessary especially when you have a bunch of pigs like I do.
