Scooter Blenny needs a home

Post by ReneM » Mon Jul 19, 2010 5:38 pm

Hiya all!

Received a scooter as a present, and I do NOT think he is eating well - my tank is just too new. I have gotten trigger pods for him, but his belly looks pitiful. If any of you can give him a good home I would appreciate it. I live in N. Biloxi

Thanks!

PS.. he's free... but I would love some chaeto or any other lovely algae/plants if you have any extra to share :)

No... I don't know what those are :( Sad huh? LOL... I just had read that copepods were the way to go. When I saw him last night on the glass, the way he looked, I really got to worrying. How long can they go looking like that? Should I risk trying to take care of it myself? I dont want him to die because of my ignorance :(

Only Lizards, my last baby was a 5 foot Iguana Chibby was huge and very large and was a rescue. A old girlfriends mother was going to kill him and I took him right then. Did not know anything about Ig's and the internet was not what it is now, so research was the old fashioned way; reading books. Had him 9 years before he passed away in his cage; I normally let him run free unless i was not home and when I returned he was gone. He was a very friendly lil guy that loved resting on either my shoulder or monitor while I was on the PC.
