    Well, I came home with some new corals, and when I looked for my lawnmower blenny, I found him on the floor all dried out :cry::bawling:

    Funny quirky little fish, I've had him since I set up my 30g, grew quite a bit and always fun to watch.

    R.I.P. :cry::bawling:

    Think something spooked him or water params?

    Probably something spooked him. He was a bit high strung, water params are good across the board

    I have a soft spot for gobies and blennies. Hope your next one can live up to your last :thumb_up:

    most blennies are too timid for my taste, always going in overflows and trying to jump out.
    probably because most are wild caught

    sorry better luck next time

    Thanks guys. I am considering not getting another blenny as I don't want another one to end up on the floor. I also really have no algae left for them to graze on, I have 2 gobies and will probably focus on free-swimming fish.

    I'm sorry, Zach. That happened to us with a goby. It's very sad. K for your loss. :(

    Sorry for the loss man. I've lost a goby due to jumping as well...stinks cuz they are my favorite. I put some egg crate on top of my tank to help but don't like it due to somewhat diffusing my light. Small thing to live with if I want to stop losing my gobies.
