Feed my red scooter blenny!

[Pepperyfox]

My first impulse buy.... I mistook him for a different type of fish... When he is OBVIOUSLY a dragonet and now I am worried I don't have enough pods to feed him. My tank has been up for 6 months and I have a refuge. Anybody have any advise on how to feed/ cultivate/ buy pods for him. Thanks!

Scooter Blennies are hardy and find food quickly. Do you feed daily? Is it eating what you offer yet?

Yes I'm feeding daily and adding more pods to my dump today. I have a 110g mixed reef.. It is hard to see if he is eating with the others . He is very small

You can try frozen daphnia, bloodworms, and smaller mysis (Hikari is smaller than PE Mysis) and try to spot feed it. Google "mandarin diner" for feeding station ideas.

Mine ate Hikari Mysis and the smallest NLS pellets. It was one of my favorite fish that died unexpectedly after three years in my tank. I'm actually hunting another one.

Thanks for the ideas, guys! Lil' scooter is doing really well-- eating nutramar from a baster.

Thanks for sharing this, Marc. I am thinking of putting something together like this for Lil' Scooter. I'm running into that tang problem... They have figured out the baster trick !
