Help! My Lawn Mower Blennie is sick

[House of Laughter]

Leslie,

Don't forget to do a 25% water change before you turn on your skimmer and good luck with Mr Blenny - worse case, let me know if you want to borrow a rock with red and pink algae on it for him to graze.

That's great news. "Jack Blenny" Duh, I just got it. Cool name!

Glad to hear the good news Leslie. I think he was just feeling sick that why he wasn't eating. The first fish lost is tough...so I'm happy that you haven't experience one yet.

Leslie, hope the Blenny is doing well... just wanted to say that I don't know about everyone there, but the guy with long hair and the guy that works the front counter at New World are very cool and very knowledgable. When I first set up my tank, I had told them that it had cycled but had some low nitrates still and they talked me out of buying any livestock, then continued to talk to me for 15 minutes or so. I don't want to start a war on here about New World, but in my experience they are a very fair shop and are very into the hobby. Next time you buy a fish there, explain the situation (fairly new tank, parameters, other livestock, etc) and they won't ok,ok,ok you into buying something, they'll help you pick an appropriate fish for your situation or even tell you not to buy anything if that's the best bet.

BTW, I have some Calupera if you want to try feeding that, I can bring it into the city if you're interested.

Bad news. I finished the tank treatment and 3 days later, Jack had a white cloudy patch behind his head. I am going to treat the tank one more time.
