I got my lawnmower blenny....!

...and now I can't find him. He has been out and about all morning and when I brought my dad in to see him, he was no where to be found. I have lights and a hood on top of the tank, so I don't think he could have jumped; and I'm certain I don't have anything in there that would eat him...but I didn't think they were so notorious for hiding...whata bummer. :notsure:

He IS sneaky. I just tip-toed in on the tank and saw him perched on a rock. As soon as he saw me, he darted into a space between the live rock, making it impossible to see him. Is he going to continue to do this everything I walk in the room, or will he warm up to me once he realizes I am the hand that feeds him?

after a month my half black angel still hates me, every time i come in he goes and hides except when i feed him, I hope he will warm up to me, my false percs love me, they always watch me when i work in the tank and play in front when i just sit there and watch

My false percs love me too. They nip at my hand everytime I put it in the tank and are so curious as to what it is I'm doing! I sure hope the lawnmower warms up to me too. I hear they are supposed to have lots of personality
We'll see!

My LMB likes to "stand" on his tail while leaning on the front glass when we come to the tank. He wants food. Yes, they do have personality! He's our favorite! Wife and kid call him "fatty" because he eats everything and his tummy is HUGE!

Oh, good. That makes me feel better! I did spot him in his hiding spot again with my cleaner shrimp. Gumbo (my shrimp) was cleaning him...so it seems he at least made a friend in the tank!

I have the top of my tank covered except a 1 inch square, and this morning when I woke up :scared: I found my Orange spoted LMB on the living room floor about 10 feet away.
