Just thought I would share my story.
I have 2 clown and a lawnmower blenny.
Now the blenny is very shy, he always hides, but when I sneak up on the tank, he does not see me and I can watch him. It is not unusual for him to be unseen for a few days.
I recently moved my rock, and I assume he was just hiding in it.
I heard a weird splash the other night and feared that someone jumped out. The clowns were still there but I could not see the blenny. I assumed he was just hiding as normal, and there was no fish on the ground. The next day I am doing some work, removing old filter sock, cleaning sump, etc. I put the filter sock in a to wash bin. 2 days later I grab the filter socks to clean them, and I was looking in one to see how dirty it was. I freak out, because there is my blenny sitting at the bottom of this dried out sock. I wanted to cry, I knew it was dead because there is no way it could be alive after 2 days.
For the heck of it I dumped it in to a bucket of water and he moved! I was so excited, but he was so skinny, his little beer belly was all shriveled, so I threw him back in the tank and he just sat there for a little bit.
I went back to check in on him and he went to his little hiding hole. I went to bed and hoped for the best. I woke up this morning and he looked better, his color has returned but still skinny. Well I just saw him a few hours ago and he is eating like crazy, and his beer belly is back.
I am amazed that he lived in a sock where it was 400gph falling on him and then he lived in that sock for 2 days.
I just thought I would share a happy story, I hate to always see the sad ones.
