    I've had a Canary Blenny for a week now and he's very active and stays up front most of the time. I see him pick at the rocks throughout the day, but at feeding times he shows no interest in any food. I feed a combination of frozen mysis, Rod's food, and New Life Spectrum pellet. Just wondering how normal this behavior is. He's active enough so I'm not worried yet, probably getting enough to eat from the rocks. Anyone else have experience with them and their eating habits? Thanks!

    I also had one acking the same way as yours. Never ate the food that I gave to the masses. But never got the chance to find a solution b/c he disappeared. It seems that they like to hunt for live foods like pods and the like. Try feeding live brine shrimp to see what happens.

    They also love to jump! I have seen as many on the floor around aquariums as I have in aquariums
