Sunday i left to stay with my girlfriend, i stayed till tuesday and just returned to a once diatom infested tank to a pretty much spotless tank! How could this happen? Well i noticed mouth shaped marks all over my fish tank wall that matched up with the only fish i have in there my bi-color blenny. He had eaten all the diatom off the wall and the rocks except for the little bit i have on my sand i'm almost all out of diatom problems! What a awesome fish with great personality.

Blenny kisses are so cute! Congrats!

Just be careful of blennies and some inverts - like clams.

I had something like that when I went away for xmas. I didn't feed the tank for 5 days and when I came back, my tank had no cyano or diatom anymore.

What it tells me is a few things,
1: I overfeed
2: My food has high phosphates.
