My Lawn Mower was full grown when I got him just under two years ago. He died this morning for no apparent reason. My Chocolate Tang harassed him a bit but don't really think that stressed him that much. He was fat and sassy like you would expect. But what do I know....

Mine mysteriously quit eating... (around 2 years old)

carpet surfed on the second day. I love lawnmower blennies too :(
|
Both of my lawnmowers lived 7-9 months before they found out the hard way that they can't breath or carpet surf.

Mine has been with me over two years now. Superb personality, for a fish. Eats every food fed to the tank, including nori, plus scrapes the rock.
Recently layed eggs in the tank. See here, http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=37658 I wonder what part, aggressive fish plays in jumping. Mines always been the boss. |
I have had mine for 13 months now. No problems, very bossy to others though if there on his perch points. (his favorite spot is in a large colony of GSP) And he loves to rearrange small rocks and knock over frags. Is also quite active in removing algae.

Ours went carpet surfing after about 4 months :sad:

I'm on LB no. 3 now. The first one fell victim to a power head after about 4 months, my fault for not adequately protecting the intake. Number two went carpet surfing after 3 months or so. The current Homer is doing well since being introduced about 5 months ago. Looks like I may have passed the critical month of death stage for this guy.
All three were distinct personalities. First one was a good size when I got him and was missing a few cirrae on his head. He only grazed on the LR and took no other food. The second was slightly smaller than the first and a much livelier dude, maybe that's why he ended up being a jumper. He was a real omnivore and in addition to grazing the rock, he ate almost everything else that dropped into the tank around meal time. The current guy was very tiny when I got him and he did well to survive the initial couple of months since he was everyone's target, especially a Blue Devil Damsel. He's all grown up now and no longer takes any crap from the Damsel or anyone else, although he gives my Maroon Clown female and her BTA a wide berth. Like the first LB, he eats only what he finds on the LR, glass and any other equipment he can access. |
mia for about a month now
