My little fat boy

Algae Blenny

Pictures really bad (cell phone) but I think you can make it out enough to see how fat this little guy is...

here he is acting like a barnacle blenny (check the belly)



This guy eats EVERYTHING

Just thought I'd share...

 

A fat blenny is a happy blenny!

 

Blennies rock. Mine died. I want another, but am nervous about starvation.

 

Are you supplementing his hunger for algae with anything? I went out and got some green seaweed last night and my blenny paid it no mind. I've seen him take a flake or two, but that's about it.

 

When I first got him bout 2 months ago I was having a algae prob in the tank (still am but not as bad). Anyway, all it ate was algae on the sides of the tank and rockwork but was doing great because I had so much. Then one day I'm feeding the others and he starts going crazy for mysys and brine?!?!? I had one that did this years ago but it was eating prepared foods in the LFS and that was the only reason I got him (got rid of him soon after because it was close to 5"L and was attacking others in the tank).

I have a feeling that the amount it is eating now is gonna cause it to grow FAST but what can u do! Only bout 2"L now

 

When I first got it I tried to see if it would go for seaweed but it didn't even look at it but I think thats also because I had a good amount of algae in the tank. Like I said earlier, it really does eat EVERYTHING I put in - funny to watch too!
