best algae eater money can buy

[t-byrd]

i had a minor problem with algae about 2 months ago.
so, i went out and bought a lawnmower blenny and it is gone.
he even scrapes the glass all the way to the top of the water line.
now my main worry is that i dont have enough growing in there to feed him, he doesnt take dried seaweed to well. i have literally
almost no algae anywhere.
any ideas on what to feed him if he looks like he's getting to skinny?
he's not as fat as he was but i dont think hes in any immediate danger of wasting away.

Have you tried Sea Veggies? I have one that won't touch Nori but will eat purple Sea Veggies...

HTH,

he is one of my favorite fish i have in there
so i want to make sure he's happy

If he's anything like mine he'll eat anything and everything.
Any time there's food going in the water he's scarfing! :lol:

Try sinking algae wafers as well. I had one eating those for a while, but then dissappeared.

I can't get mine to take to flake, but he loves formula one and two. He'll also eat seaweed selects, but I don't like that stuff too much. (messy)

Did you try nori? rbaker's maybe didn't eat it but your might. its worth a shot and its cheap as heck... ever safeway's around here sell it.

if he is getting skinny of that inverted tummy try making your own fresh fish food. borneman's recipe is a good place to start, add some scallops, tuna, and thahitian blend. FWIW
