    Thats too bad. I've had my Scooter Blenny for over a year now. I got him very small and now he has grown quiet a bit. I never really see him eat, but he has always been very playful and active. My gf and I would definitely be down if we lost him.

    Sorry for your loss. Will you be trying again in the future?

    NICE!! My little dude actually ate live ghost shrimp when he could catch them. I used to get them for a Green spotted puffer I used to have and gut load them for a few days and then would drop a few in every couple of days as a snack and the first time he got one I couldnt believe it!!

    The funniest thing was watching him run away from the other fish in the tank who were trying to steal the shrimp from him. He eventually hid under a large rock and proceeded to consume the shrimp - was very cool to watch!
