What's this fish?

I got this fish as a hitchhiker about a year ago. I think it's some sort of blenny?

anyone know what kind? He's the happiest little fish.

It's definitely a blenny. Maybe one of these guys?

Thanks!

He looks the most like the Black Combtooth Blenny but he eats mysis, not algae. He does have a lot of personality though. Never thought I would like a fish as much as my ponies.

All blennies will eat mysis as well as algae. That's not abnormal.

Is your blenny anorexic?

 

[Picasso]

Mine eats mysis like crazy. I saw him chase down an amphipod one time and it was super fast! He perches in one spot when he's hungry and I put some mysis in..... zoooooommmmm....

Try soaking some in garlic, supposed to help them eat?

Oh yes, whenever anyone asks, I already consider him past on that's how bad he looks at this point.

Yea, I've tried everything, I had a thread about it and tried every single suggestions people gave me to try and get him to eat. I've even seen mysis and emerald entree hit him in the face while he was perched and he didn't even move.

Maybe he's a robot.

Maybe he's a robot.

I wish that'd be so cool, but he'd probably rust then
