I was having a lot of green algae growing in my tank so I got a Lawnmower
Blenny. Let me tell you, he is GREAT. Better than a janitorial company: He does glass (windows), lol My concern is, he is getting the tank spotless but what will he eat now? I noticed he doesn't eat when I feed the tank, just interested in green algae. Should I start to increase the bio load to speed up the algae growth rate? Ruben |

Troll and be trolled................ dumb ass
"Tristan" wrote in message ... I find it very interesting in what statements and question C. gulley is asking in the moderated proposals group. Evidenlty she is getting paranoid and looking for ways in which she the queen of trolls will be able to be shut out. She is doing nothing more than reinforcing her mental attitude....but she is still one dumb ass no matter how you cut the cake.

I have been making my own 'weekend' feeders for a while now, and my mixed vege's ones are very popular with the lawnmowers. best advice I can give is do a bit of research and then try a bit of this and a bit of that. they can eat most veges we can! |

![]() Depends. 'Lawnmowers' are a group of blennys I have had maybe 3 or 4 types including redspots and peacocks and the redspots went the caulerpa stuff Peacocks leave it alone....... unless they get desperate. I am not convinced that they need vege matter from a marine source. Not convinced they don't either, but figure they get enuf cropping the LR and glass in the tank. The rest is all just vege's from the fridge really. I have a lot of fish and the cheap solution that works is the one I use. had good luck with the random vege blends. Just turn to mush and dry out into 'algae disc' looking things. Can but try and they are certainly a very very helpful money saver. Keeping Lawnmowers well fed = much less problems with them jumping/fighting or getting sick or injured. We all have our secret recipes, but I'm sure you can think one up. besides it costs just a few cents to try. leave them to dry and feed away never know could nail it on first go better than $30 for a bag algae discs anyway "RubenD" wrote in message .. .

I fed a small amount of seaweed roll, green peas, shelled, and vegetation waste from dinner that night. Lawnmower, surgeons and hermits are big fans. I have been in my own 'over the weekend kept some time, I mixed vegetation is very popular mowers. The best advice I can give is to do a little research, then try a bit of this and a bit of this.

The blow is all just vege's from the fridge really. I accept a lot of angle and the bargain band-aid that works is the one I use. had acceptable luck with the accidental vege blends. Just about-face to concoction and dry out into 'algae disc' searching things. Can but try and they are absolutely a actual actual accessible money saver.
