    I wouln't put one in less than 75g myself. They need a mature thank with lots of LR to graze on. Mine will also graze on the film algae that grows on the glass. Never has accepted prepared foods.

    My Lawnmower is great, but they are definitely weird fish. When people go near the tank, mine comes up to the front and presses his stomach and fins against the glass with the tip of his tail on the sand watching the people. Mine grazes algae all day (I have A TON of it), and picks at all prepared foods, but oddly his favorite is mysid shrimp. Looks healthy to me.

    cool thanks again y'all. mine sits there most of the day and he's not camera shy! bounces side to side, maybe he's trying to see the tv with both eyes lol He does look at my dogs a lot when they come in...wonder what he's thinking?

    Wish the LB I had was like that. He used to hide on the back side of rock whenever anyone came up to the tank, not much personality.
