Lawnmower getting enough to eat in QT?

horwitzs · 03/18/2008, 02:31 PM

I'm worried about a lawnmower blenny getting enough to eat while in quarantine.
There is no algae or live rock, since it's bare bottom and in hyposalinity... will some nori be enough??

nori should be fine, watch and see if he eats, maybe cut some up in small peices may help, my LMB ate regular flake food too

Some lawnmowers are picky (mine at anything I stuck in the QT) .. nori is a good vegi. Another alternative is live brine shrimp (never met a healthy fish that turned down LBS).
