I recently purchased a Fork Tail Blenny for my 28g Nano (been cycled for a little over a month) from a LFS. She is a beautiful fish and looks and acts very happy, but she doesn't eat anything I feed her. She grazes off the LR often (I started the tank with established LR from my DT and had a pretty healthy population of pods by the time I added fish), but I don't see the pods population sustaining her eating habits. I also have a Purple Firefish and small Yellow Watchman Goby in there that eat just fine. The Blenny won't even pay the food any attention, even when it floats right by her nose. I have tried feediing a couple different flake foods, brine shrimp, and a frozen veggie mix (green sea weed mix that comes in one of the frozen food variety packs).

Everything that I read about them suggest that they are hardy and easy and eat a variety of foods. Will she come around once she runs out of pods? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
