Anyone else notice these two competing for hair algae in your tank? It's hilarious in my tank. Everywhere the Yellow Tang goes to graze on algae the Lawnmower blenny is close behind, at times attempting to nip at him, or tail whip him. The Yellow Tang is about a week in my tank, and the Blenny...

So I've had this blenny for about 6 weeks, he was very plump in the lfs, since then he has dropped loads of weight and is now only sporadically pecking at a pump outlet with no algae on it. He is getting very skinny and I'm quite concerned. There is plenty of film algae on the back of the...

Good evening all, I was wondering about people's experiences with lawnmower blennys. I have some hair algea that nothing I try gets rid of it all. All of my water params are really good and all the corals are thriving so far. I have a turbo snail that eats as much as he can. But I was in my lfs...

Hi all! I just wanted to post my extreme unhappiness with the LFS. I know it isn't any secret that they aren't the most reliable source for information but they ALWAYS steer me in the wrong direction. I have a 75 gallon with 100 pounds of LR and many corals. The tank has been up and...

Anyone interested in buying my lawnmower blenny for $10? I bought him for $22 in LaCrosse. I only had him for about a month and he is a certified hair algae eater. I saw him chowing down and bought him to help with my tank but decided to fight my battle a different way and I really want a midas...

I have a lawn mower blenny that I would like to place into a 13 gallon aquarium along with three yellow headed jaw fish. My concern is, that the lawn mower blenny would agress on the jaw fish, since they have a large mouth and an elongated body, much like the blenny. Any advice?

I bought a lawnmower blenny a few weeks ago and have noticed him getting skinnier and skinnier. I honestly don't have like ANY ALGAE growing in my tank which is really weird. Ive got coralline growing but not nuisance algae. It is a 55gal reef tank. He won't eat anything i put in the tank. I...

I am thinking about getting a Lawnmower blenny for my 14g BioCube. I know they eat hair algae, but since my tank is not established yet, I do not know it it will have a consistent supply for it. What prepared foods have worked well for yall?

A couple of days ago I got my first leather coral. I took it home and found it a nice spot in my tank and after a few hours his polyps were extended and seemed very happy! Until my lawnmower blenny found him. It seems like accidental pestering..just a bump here and there. But when he does bump...
