RIP Ryder (In memoriam)
| Comments |
I loved my little lawnmower blenny. he was always pershed up on a rock when i came to the tank he'd move closer and check me out. i got him to control a small patch of hair algae i had and he wiped it out the first day. i then went to feeding him dried algae and he would perch on the algae strip riding it in the waves of current. he jumped from the tank a few days ago for no apparent reason...big loss, but a wonderful personality and great algae controller

Great fish that can help control algae
| Comments |
Lawnmower blennies have a ton of personality and help eat some algae in reef tanks, which more than makes up for their lack of a colorful appearance.

| Liked about it |
Not picky eaters.
Will help eat some algae in the tank.
TONS of personality
|
| Didn't like |
I've had two lawnmower blennies die within a matter of months. Both were quite large when I got them, but I think it's important to make sure they're eating fish food and not just scraping at the rocks. Maybe I've just had bad luck? They should be hardy fish, so I think my two were the exception and not the rule!

Best tank addition!

I love my lawnmower. He has the best character and is always swimming around the tank. Easy to care for and does a good job keeping the algae in check.

Great addition
| General |
I could watch this fish for hours as he cleans algae off of the rocks. Be prepared to supplement nori for feeding. This fish will make short work of the algae in a normal tank. |

Blends into the rocks a little too well

Just like the name Lawnmower
| General |
I really like this fish he blends in with the rock and sometimes people would look in my tank and not even notice him till he started to swim around. Great fish that will help keep alage in check. Not much to dislike about this fish. |

Lawnmower Blenny
| General |
All around a great fish for amusement to watch, or get the job done. |
| Liked about it |
It always is eating algea leaving the rocks and glass almost spotless in my tank. Its always up front with tons of personality especially when it does dances with itself on the glass
|
| Didn't like |
The one thing is that it wont eat patches of hair algea. it eats some but not when its in a patch.

I ended up getting rocks from friends with HA on them so he could eat it. He would eat nori but preferred the HA. |

It kept my hair algae eaten, which is why I got it.

Can't have more than two and can only have two in a tank if they are male and female.
