This is my Algae Blenny fish, I got him as i had alot of brown algae in my tank, he has eaten all the alae. I want to keep him as he's a cool and a weird fish. Is there any vegetarian foods out there that i can feed him as he has eaten all the algae and dont want him to be hungry even though i know algae will build up again. I wanna treat him with something else to reward him for cleaning my tank.

he's gorgeous! i love blennies, something about the faces, they look like like 'people fish'!
you can get dried seaweed which algae eating fish will eat, you just have to tear a bit off and clip it inside tank. he may eat algae based pellets too, worth a try

Looks like a Jewelled rockskipper (Salarias Fasciatus) I have one aswell. They are great Characters. Mine sits on the highest piece of Live rock and looks down over the tank like he's some sort of king. Every now and then he allows the cleaner shrimps to approach him to clean his mouth, like their HIS servants.

These blennies are marine fish so def not suitable for keeping with goldies. The brown algae will go away on its own in time, it is common in new/newish set ups. Best bet is to use a magnetic scraper to scrape it off with

Common name is a lawnmower blenny; latin name is Salarias fasciatus. I've had one for 7 years and he does great being fed the dried algae sheets. Prefers the red/brown sheets over the green ones but takes both.
Good luck. They are great fish and get along with just about anything.
