My Algae blenny is stoopid! #1
Ive had to rescue him from my sump no less than 3 times now, he obviously likes the algae on my overflow wier and keeps getting sucked down it!!

I tried to fashion a mesh guard but that didnt work - he knocked it off then got sucked down!

Hopefully new one will keep him out :)

Re: My Algae blenny is stoopid! #3
Thing is it cant have been a pleasant journey down - it levels off to horizontal for about 12 inches so he must have had to shuffle and flip his way down! - Also have a feeling my jewel anenome is in there somewhere as cant find it in my tank anywhere! So if he was open it would have been worse!

Re: My Algae blenny is stoopid! #6
well this one is making me believe otherwise.

I think the whole "headbutting" the glass adds to it hehe - he is fine tho - doesnt seem traumatised by the experience!
