seaweed sheets and algae wafers????

[milomlo]

Ok I am getting a Tail Spot Blenny in tomorrow. I went and purchased some seaweed sheets and algae wafers (for bottom feeders).
I was wondering if anyone soaks them in Zoe and garlic before the hang the algae sheets and before they feed the wafers?
My clowns eat my frozed prepared food, but I dont' know if the blenny will. I do also have some marine flake food.
Is there anything else I should get in case he doesn't eat any of this stuff??? ***)

how about just asking the guy at the fishstore to feed the blenny(blennies) in the tank.if one doesnt eat and the other does get the one that eats.if ones at the store if he doesnt eat i would come back at another time and see if he eats and is doing better.i dont think they really eat algea sheets and wafers either.

Well I ordered if online. So I can't watch it eat. Any other suggestions?

Soak some regular old fish food pellets in garlic, I use formula 1. Most fish will eat that after offering it a couple of times, especially if they see other fish eating it. That's if he wont eat what you are already prepared to feed him. My Bicolor blenny (similar fish) ate anything I put in the tank. He seemed to really like Marine BioBlend Staple Diet.

Well I have some shrimp pellets - will that do? I do have marine flakes and frozen mysis shrimp, marine cusine and the home made food. Then today I bought the algae sheets and algae wafers. I thought he might only eat algae. Aren't most blennies like that?

Dunno really, I only have experience with the bicolor. I bet he would eat the marine flakes, especially if you soak 'em in garlic.
