blenny question

[drunktank]

was thinking about getting a lawnmower blenny to take care of some hair algae, think he will help?

Liveaquaria says to be careful w/ blennys and triggers, anyone ahve exp w/ their compatibility?

My lawnmower blenny doesn't eat hair algae, but ate bryopsis.

What type of Trigger are you talking about? The more aggressive triggers will most likey eat or take a bite into the blenny, specially as the trigger gets larger.

mowers are marvelous

My lawn mower is very helpful, it ate the hair algae (not the super long strings but the shorter) and cleans off the back glass of the tank. You can see his "sucking print" all over the glass. They are harmless depending on the size. Triggers and blennys are knownw to get along but if introduced at the same time, maybe :wink1:

I had 2 lawnmowers. Really liked them, but the first one got sucked into the powerhead and the second died of natural causes. Loved the both of em, they ate the hell out of whatever they ate. Reminded me of gremlins. After the 2nd died I ended up getting a bi-color blenny because my sister liked him better. They hide in the rock alot and are pretty swift, don't think a trigger can get to them. but I could be wrong.

Mine is a Lawnmower and a bulldozer at times. He's great, he comes out to say hi all of the time and leans up against the front glass or the side glass with his tail on the sand just standing there LOL. I have no hair algae at all.
