My lawnmower blenny is evil



Here’s a picture I took of my lawnmower blenny. Since i’m having some algae issues, he’s been busy eating algae and more algae. Last weekend I thought I’d get him another friend. I figured my tank would be big enough and have enough algae to support two of them.

After a few hours of putting in the new one, I found them next to each other. sweet! they’re like buddies now! The next day, while looking at the tank, I saw the original one chase the new one around! Dang, territorial issues but I hoped it would eventually go away. It did cross my mind that at the speed and rate, one of them could jump out of my tank. The next day, it unfortunately did. Lesson learned. Only one blenny in a tank for me from now on.

    I’m sorry for your loss (great pic, though). My first saltwater fish was a Lawnmower Blenny and, alas, he was a jumper as well. RIP Blenny Kravitz

    haha. clever name. i named mine Dinkus cause he eats algae off the sand instead of the glass so he ends up eating sand also.

    I have a sweet LMB too. Soo far no chasing problems but I have just covered the top of my tank a little better. I had no idea they could be jumpers…. I have that!!
