Hi, over the last few weeks we have noticed that our lawnmower blenny has got really skinny :( he used to sit at the bottom of the tank rocking on his belly where he was full, now it seems like you can almost see his ribs!

He is kissing the glass but doesnt seem to be leaving any kiss marks behind, its as if he isnt getting anything? There is algae there but I am not sure if it's the same type of algae that he used to eat? seems harder than before.

He never eats anything else, not frozen or flake. We have tried to tempt him with some algae strips on a lettuce clip but he's not eating that either. Is there anything else that we can try? maybe algae flakes or something?

He's wasting away :(

Thanks

It might be worth trying to attach strips of Nori seaweed to a piece of rock with an elastic band.

I hope somebody else posts a relpy to help save your fish.
