    I'm really bummed - we lost out lawnmower blenny. He had such a neat personality. I don't know if he wasn't well when we got him (about 6 weeks ago) or if it was something we did or didn't do. I just know it sucks :(

    Sorry for the loss of the fish.......... It's pretty common for algae eating blennies to starve in captivity.
