Blue Fang Blenny Starving?

I've got a blue fang blenny that seems to eat nothing but pods. When I got him about a month ago I had a healthy population, but I think he's cleared most of them out. The only ones I see now are in the sandbed up against the glass. He looks thin. Can I get him on something else? I've tried flake, cyclopeeze, mysis, squid, and he shows no interest.

Have you tried live brine?

yeah give live brine a try. If he eats it mix it with frozen until you can get him to eat all frozen. My bicolor blenny LOVES veggies! When I place nori in he's the first one eating it.

Great idea! I just hope I can find some. I don't recall seeing any in the stores in the area.

if not put some green leaf lettuce in there see if eats that. That might hold him until you can get some live brine and nori

I'll try the nori, I've got some here. I didn't know they liked that stuff. I'll get some lettuce from the store as well, I've got a yellow tang in the fowler and he might like it too.

The tang def will! It's not as good as the nori but if you get him eating then you can worry about nutrition
