Lawnmower Blenny Poop!

So I got a lawnmower blenny as recommended by many of you. Awesome little fish, lots of personality, and eats algae like crazy...

Here's the problem though, he is pooping everywhere. The bottom of my tank is full of blenny poop

I just ordered a full clean up crew, snails, cleaner shrimp, crabs...

Will that be enough, or is there something else I need to do?

 

Cleanup crew will take care of poop problem....that is what they do.

Post some pics and keep us up to date on progress.

Good Luck!

 

Welcome to the PooP World! My blenny also poops everywhere, however my cleaner crew takes care of that!

 

Poop Festival!!!!!! I don't want tickets to that!!! LOL

 

LOL...my wife is pretty grossed out by it.

Clean up crew arrives today from saltwaterfish.com, so hope they get to work...I'm willing to pay OT ;D

I'll update my sig tonight with the critters I ordered...

 

Good work! Believe me or not when I first saw the green/brown poop on the substrate I though it was some sort of algae bloom! LOL ... You should have seen the expression on my face when I realized its a poop...

 

Well, we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My wife was convinced it was the Turbo snails. Then the Blenny appeared from behind a rock, left a little present, then continued scarfing away and we had the "ah ha" moment.

My wife just called, the clean up crew is awaiting. I'll get them in the tank this afternoon, hopefully they are hungry!

 

Ok, new cleaning crew is in and they are going at it! Whoo-hoo!

Although, my squirrel fish seems to have a very keen interest in my crabs.

Already had: 2 Turbo Zebra Snails, 2 Mexican Turbo Snails, 2 hermit crabs

Received Today: 1 Sally Lightfoot Crab, 10 Scarlet Hermit Crab, 20 Nassarius Snails, 3 Emerald Crabs, 10 Turbo/Astrea Snails, 1 Fighting Conch

Nassarius snails are already in the sand, Astrea's are kinda moving slow or not moving at all, crabs are going to town, and the Fighting Conch is slowing pushing through the sand.

 

the nassarius snails will stay buried (with their ?nose? poking out of the sand) and plow right out when they smell meaty food (shrimp) or fresh waste that they want to eat.

 

Yes, they've been doing that already...they're pretty cool.

I really like the Fighting Conch too. Love the long eyes and snout
