algae blenny

[jay0705]

Hey folks. Iam looking into getting an algae.I have a fair amount of algae in my smaller tank.The emerald crabs started doing a good job as does the turbo snail. There still is a fair amount tho. The fish in the tank are as follows. 1 sunrise dotty back,1 yellow tail damsel,1 spotted mandy and 1 scooter blenny. Would there be any likely compatibility issues w the blenny? Thank u in advance

I don't see any issues with tankmates but you know Algae Blennies only eat diatoms, right?

I did not sir. Ive seen string algae , nori, and even bubble but no mention of diatoms

I have not witnessed an Algae Blenny eating anything other than Diatoms. I don't imply they will not, just that I have not seen it.

I have seen them scrape the slime off of other fish though.

My old lawn mower blennie had a fetish for the New Life Spectrum, Thera + A pellets and algae sheets. But Bang, has me wondering if I was missing diatomes in the diet. Or was I?

Its crazy lol everything I read says golden sleeper headed gobys are hard to keep they need an established tank. So I waited and got one 2 weeks ago. I wanted my tank to have enough fauna. The sucker eats anything I put in the tank!!! Frozen mysis, prawn roe, even new life pellets lol but still I hate to get a fish and not have what it needs
