i love the looks of both of them
but the lawnmower rarely takes to algea sheets and usually starve from lack of macroalgea in
the tank

Don't have a bi-color but I do have a LMB and a Red Sea Mimic blenny. They get along well but if I had to make a choice Mimic blenny all the way. My LMB eats algea sheets and does really well, just not one of my favorite fish.

I love my John Deer ( LMB ) always cleaning the rocks and glass. Mine does eat algea sheets. Never had a Bi-color.

my poor LMB looks skinny in my tank =(. It doesn't eat algae sheets but eats whatever is on the glass and rocks (150lbs).

mine is also skinny, and will not eat sheets. only picks at rocks and glass. also will not eat hair alge or bryopsis.

Bi-color seem to do better then the LMB. Both have a lot of personality but I would go with Bicolor

Personally I love them both but had a very bad experience with my LMB- wouldn't eat algae sheets and was fatally aggressive towards other fish. Most people have better luck than this though. I have never had any difficulty with my bi-color, and he is funny to watch so that would be my pick.

For all you folks with finicky LMB's out there I got mine to eat freshwater bottom feeder algae pellets two days before I traded him at LFS. I tried EVERYTHING (as you can see), who knew catfish algae pellets would do it?? Just thought I would pass it along. :thinking:

Seahorse-
It's a cluster of barnacles. In fact, I have another one that I will give to you for free if you just pay for the shipping. It's never even been used in my tank. Let me know if you're interested.

Here's a pic of the spare barnacle I have if you want it:

Here's a pic of the barnacle I use in my tank. It's been in thre for 6 months. My Blenny and Goby both love it. The blenny goes in the barnacles, while the Goby sits on top of them.
Don't take these if you wont use them though....I'd rather give em to someone who will use them.

I have a lawnmower who also takes algae sheets. He actually hangs out by the feeder waiting! I have never had a bi-color.

I also love my lawn mower. He is very happy now in my 210 because he has so much rock to pick at and so much room to move around in.
