Scooter blenny.. feeding ideas

T

[I have a scooter blenny that my wife made an impuse purchase on.... Needless to say after about 4 weeks I think he is starving....

I generally feed frozen food (small shrimp chunks squid etc.. all mixed in) every 2-3 days, which I thought he was eating (I have no pods yet) He was great for the first 3 weeks now he is starting to not be as active as he was.

So I was wondering if anyone had any feeding suggestions (type of foods?) that I should try before I donate him to someone with an established tank?

Thanks]
 
[Might try hatching some Baby Brine Shrimp. It should take the place of a pods until they come in.

My scooter will eat flakes, pods or frozen food. Heck, I am not sure what all he eats but given that he has grown a good inch since I got him, I would say he is doing ok.]
 
[Thanks for the ideas, I will give him another couple days and see how he/she does. If I can't get him eating I will be giving him away...

Thanks!!]
 
[If he doesn't eat the live brine your probably in trouble and need to donate! Be sure and turn all the pumps off and get a turkey baster and squirt it close to his face as their eyesite is terrible!

If you can get it to eat the live brine then start squirting some mysis soaked in garlic the same way and see if he'll eat that.

Mine is a pig that absolutly loves mysis!!]

[he needs to be in a tank with pods,, if you have a refugium put him their or find someone with a large pod population..... if he wont eat baby live brine,, Id pass him along]
 
[ok, he passed away this morning... I put him in a holding tank with some macro algae with pods I got from the fish store, he went swam vigoursly right after i moved him to this holding tank and I thought he might make it... but come morning he was gone....
