    We've had our Algae Blenny for amost a year and noticed lately that he is getting skinny. Our tank has much less algae now and we are trying to feed him seaweed or flake food but not having success. Any suggestions?

    my lawnmower blennie eats frozen mysis and other meaty foods. rods is a good food, it has a mix in it, rods also has a food thats loaded with macro algaes.
    my blennie would not touch the sheet of dried algae. but will eat the stuff in the rods food

    Try ocean reef flakes, get the green one with algae and it will be forced to eat or it will starve to death.
