A few weeks ago, I started a 10G frag tank that also doubles as a QT. I needed some thing to eat the algae in this frag tank and also wanted to get a Lawnmower Blenny for my 156. One week ago I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone, got the Blenny for controlling algae in the frag tank and using the frag tank as QT before transferring it to the 156. Good news is that this Blenny quickly adapted to it's new surrounding and is obviously feeding. Bad news it the amount of poop it produces in 24 hrs. The picture below shows that tank 24 hrs after I had clean the entire bottom. From the amount of poop it produces in 24 hrs, I am not sure if I got a fish or horse ! Good news is that my Nitrate is still next to zero, over sized HOB filter doing it's job. This Blenny was at the LFS for a week before I got it. Is has been with me for a week and is happily settled. I understand that the QT time can vary. Not having QT a fish before, does this QT time vary based on the demeanor of the fish and type of fish ? I am sure this Blenny will be much happier in the 156G with lots of Hair Algae to munch on . On the other hand, I have and an experience when a little bi color blenny wiped out half my 156G population! Never went to that LFS again for fish. How many of you would transfer him to the DT now or wait another week or more ? Oh, I got 2 turbos to handle the algae in the frag tank yesterday.
