What to feed a Redlip Blenny while in QT ??

[derwood]

Have a Redlip Blenny that I just added to my QT and have yet to see him eat anything after ~4 days. Getting a bit concerned.
Considering the recommended diet includes tank algae, I may have a problem as the QT itself has only recently finished its cycle and there is no algae to graze on.
Any recommendations? I have tried blood worms, brine shrimp, flake and other dried food. Should I get algae sheets? Or will it come around to eating the other food?
Thanks.

I've had to QT a lawnmower blenny before, it really sucks trying to QT fish that live off of your tank's food that it produces naturally. I'm not really sure if this would work or not, but you could try scraping alot of the algae off of your main tank and putting it in the QT, along with maybe some of the smaller pieces of LR for grazing algae.

Thanks Kev, I'll give that a try.
