okay... a few months ago, i had a lawn mower blennie. he died. i had noticed he had a red thing hanging out of the bottom of his tale. the only way i can describe this is his colon had came out(i have no idea) and he started throwing up anything he ate. eventually he got soo skinny he died. i figured he just got a disease unlucky for him.
so lately i have hair algae problems and decide to try another lawn mower blenny, thinkin the first one died out of bad luck. well this one i had in the tank for about a week and noticed he was a bit chubby after about 2 days(i figured since he was eating so much of this hair algae that has infested my tank,im wondering did he eat too much) well about the first 3 days, i see him swimming around and what not just a little shy, well then another day goes by and i notice he is hiding a lot more. today i havent seen him in a few days, so i move some rock, and i find him dead. i think he may have eaten too much. i am trying to figure this out. any ideas? i really like the blennies and want to keep one, but im trying to figure out why mine die.
the tank is a 45 g i have a 1g fuge w some live sand live rock and some algae, a cpr bak pak 2(just installed this 3 days ago, right after i started noticing the blennie acting wierd.) powerheads for circulation.
50 lbs of live sand, atleast 50lbs of liverock no corals
2 perculas
1 sixline wrasse
2 scarlet cleaner shrimp
coral banded shrimp
snails and hermits
my tank levels are fine, thats not what im worried about because i had a blenny in my tank for about a month before it died and this one was only in their for a week.
all help is appreciated. thanks
