Scooter Blenny

[mr. crabs]

Hey, I just got a Scooter Blenny. It's a really cool looking fish and he's fun to look at.
I was just wondering, why does it keep picking a the rocks. Is it eating when it does that? If not, what does it eat?
Thanks in advance.

Hopefully he will eat frozen food or live blood worms , or myisis shrimp, but in reality, he will probably only eat pods. Thats what he is picking at the sand for, live pods. Hopefully you have lots of LR and a fuge where pods will reproduce? Really tees me off they don;t tell you all this at the lfs

Good luck!

I had a scooter blenny and he pigged out on brine shrimp. But I would only use brine as a last resort. Try mysis first and deffinatley make sure you have pods. I have a manderin now and got 1000 (so they told me) live pods. Which is what your blenny is looking for. BTW my manderin has a big fat belly on him.

Dumb question but what are these pods that you guys are talking about? I've never heard of them. How do they look like?

I once bought a male and female scooter, but I did not have enough pods to sustain them, so I returned them.
What did I learn from this experience?
Always research before I buy.

Did you get them on the auction site? Saw someine selling that quqnity. I am leary about buying them, especially since he claims you can't see them, how do we know he isn't selling just bopttles of water??? :scared:
