trouble tracking down ember blenny

CRath · Jul 28, 2022

Hello all! I have been looking for an ember blenny for while now and they are always out of stock. Does anybody know where I can find one. My lawnmower blenny suicided into my overflow and got stuck in my piping (problem fixed since then). I have been in need of a herbivore since then and really liked how the blenny kept my clownfish humble.

What's the size of your tank? Is this for algae control? If so, the lawnmower is your best option.

It’s a 40 gallon tank that I upgraded from a 15. The lawnmower I had was massive so I’m not very concerned about the size of the ember blew my. I also try to stock heavier in my tank since I have a ton of coral that suck every last nutrient out of the water.

I have a lawnmower blenny in my 160-gallon and he is literally grazing 23/7. Blennies as a whole also love (love, love, love) those barnacle cluaters - as it allows them to curl up inside.

My lawnmower blenny was a tank. it’s belly was always swolen with all the food it had eaten.
