Have you tried feeding different foods? Have you tried foods with Garlic in them? Those are supposed to stimulate appitite. Is the fish ill in any way?

i was under the assumption that lawnmower blenny's eat off LR...i wasnt aware that they fed directly on flake food....how is ur water quality and do you have any other fish in there that is stressing him out? if ur water quality is shot from excess feeding ... that could be a good reason for his stress and weight loss and loss of appetite i would do a test on the water and make corrections to the system and give it a lil more time ... he should turna round and eat like crazy if there is something in ur system and u get it fixed...or maybe he is out grown from ur tank how big is this tank by the way ?

Welcome to TRT!!!

What have you been feeding him? I like Whiskeys idea about changing the food being offered and soaking it in garlic or zoecon as well. How much algae do you have in your tank? You may need to put a sheet of seaweed in there and see if he will go for that.

Best of luck with getting him to eat.
