Rhymon78 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hey, Have had my Midas blenny for over a week now, and he is a real character. He comes out and swims around, and has been eating whenever I give it food, but I notice that within a few minutes he like blows himself up and is kind of sick? spits out chunks of the food I have just given him. He often swims after the food he has expelled, but doesn't always get it. I have tried marine flakes, frozen mysis shrimp and today tried a defrosted chopped up prawn. I worry he is not eating well enough, don't want him to waste away... Any ideas people?? cheers. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 you can try spectrum pellets, 1mm size. soak them in tank water for a few minutes to get them to be fluffy. Link to comment
