Quarantine a Lawnmower Blenny
I am in the process of trying to quarantine a Lawnmower blenny. I inherited this fish without full consent and now it is my problem.
My research has let me to the path of quarantine by means of the ttm, so I set up my 10g last night and my next transfer is Wednesday. The issue at the moment is what to feed it. I tried nori but it doesn’t appear that it has chosen to eat it. Has anyone had success with a type or brand of food to offer a lawnmower blenny while in quarantine?

Mine likes Pleco wafers, maybe not the best but, it keeps them alive and, they will eat them. I still supplement with them for mine as needed.

I've got an orange spotted coming out of TTM QT today; after the first few days, he probably averaged .75 of an algae round every other day. He's looking awesome!

Well the local big box pet store didn't have the Pleco wafers but did have Omega One Veggie Rounds and they seem to be a hit and I watched him eat a bit of one of them.
Tonight was my 1st tank transfer and since I didn't get a chance to order my 2nd 10g IM Fusion until tonight, I dug through my spare stuff and pulled out an old 10g tank, a mp10, a finnex heater and a piece of black egg crate for a lid. The issue that I had with the 10g tank was the clear bottom acted like a mirror and the reflection of the blenny made him/her mad and it started to attack the reflection. To solve the problem, I cut to fit a piece of 1/4" white abs plastic sheet material and laid it on the bottom of the tank. Problem solved. Thank you, Tom

I prefer the omega one brand when I compared ingredients recently its first ingredient was spiralina some of the others were vegetable matter and fillers. Anyway glad he's eating
