lawnmower blenny

[vgl12]

well,
once your tank is established i highly reccomend you get a lawnmower blenny!(only if your tank is big enough,good water quality,and some other things) i have one in my 29g ocenaic biocube and he does magic for my tank!! everthing is spotless and amazing thanks to my lil bud. hink about it and research it i didn't but i should have

I agree. Mine does a great job and is actually one of my favorite fish in my tank.

They are kind of hit and miss, the first one I had wouldn't touch algae but loved eating with the meat eaters in my tank. I purchased a second one, he hasn't touched food but been grazing like crazy.

The one I had got torn in half by a Tang and a Wrasse

A wrasse definately ate the eyeballs out of mine.

Will they do well in a 24 gallon tank? Also, would it be ok to put him in with a Diamond Goby?

 

[stdreb27]

no and no

I just pulled my dead blenny out of my tank....R.I.P. little guy.

It just depends, I had one that wouldn't touch algae, he would dig right it and eat along with a 8 inch dogface, a mean lunar wrasse, clowns and some other aggressive fish. My other one, won't touch anything meaty.
He does go to town on algae on the rocks, and glass, and I've seen him go after nori.
