Free lawnmower blenny, Chicago area

[sterling]

My lawnmower blenny did his job and got rid of all my hair algea, but now I'm afraid that he's going to starve to death. If you have a tank with a hair algae problem and want a fish that will gorge himself on it.....I have him. Come and get him. I'd rather give him away then watch him starve. But then we have to try to catch him.
I'm in Island Lake, Illinois, between Wauconda and Crystal Lake.

How big is the Lawn mower blenny? How long was your hair algae? I had one but he didn't touch the hair algae and bumped heads with a powerhead.
I'm interested in picking it up if still available.

My lawnmower is about 3 1/2 inches, and when I had the hair algae he did gobble it up, his stomach use to be huge, now there isn't anything for him to eat, I ahve tried the algae sheets, he doesn't touch them He is still availble, the trick will be catching him. Let me know.

Thanks! He acclimated well and is already chowing down!
I hope the xenia looks good in your tank.

the xenia looks great, and found the perfect spot for it. Is he really eating the hair algae already??? I wouldn't doubt it, I guess, he must have been pretty hungry!!
