food for a blenny

[chamic1]

Can anybody please suggest some food to feed my scooter blenny because I think he may be starving?

If you're all out of algae, I would try feeding it O.S.I Spirulina Flake food (you would probably need to get it wet first so it would sink). You could also try brine or seaweed.

no algae "IF" not enough live food on your rocks , then try mysis shrimp mine also loves bloodworms , make sure the brine shrimp is vitamins enriched IF not it's not that good for them !!!:yes:

I always thought scooter blennies were more Dragonet than they were Blennies. So in that case, they wouldn't eat algae, at least not as their main food source.
Do you have a refugium? I'm pretty sure they eat pods but also give the mysis a shot.

Also, what size it it? They seem to have very small mouths. Mysis might be too large for a small scooter.

What most of us call a scooter blenny it is also named (Peacock, eye-spot, dragonet). There is a confusion about this guy eating "Algae" In fact he eat the bugs hidden on the algae beds, but is ideally suited to live in a well-establishd reef aquarium with a good microfauna on which it can feed.

I agree with gun freak, no algae, try the mysis shrimp.
