    Anyone else with a Blenny refuse to eat anything except whats on the LR? I tried dried seaweed attached to the glass but he does not go to it. Because I have a Mandarin I don't know how much food is left for him. He eats off of my Koralia powerheads.

    Bi-Colour Blennies will eat anything. They will not, how ever, eat cope pods. So you have little to worry about with him and your Mandarin competing.

    He may be a little shy to come to the glass to eat. Try Brine shrimp or Mysis

    Everyone I have ever had ate EVERYTHING I put in the tank. I would just keep an eye on him and hopefully it will eventually take prepared food. Did you try live brine? if not I would give that a shot to entice him.

    hey as long as it seems healthy I wouldn't worry about it. Did you try any seaweed in a clip?
