Cleaner wrasse tips
Hi guys,
Recently bought a bluestreak cleaner wrasse and he is doing well so far. He is currently cleaning all my fish (except for the clown fish), and eating the food I provided him. (Saw lfs feed pellets to him and now I feed him daphnia and will feed cyclopods in the future). Is there any tips from successful people that would increase the chances of the cleaner wrasse living long? Thanks! P.S I know that cleaner wrasses are vital to the reefs in our oceans and know they usually suffer from malnutrition overtime if not fed correctly. Please do not comment useless comments in this thread... |

If it eating prepared foods you are off to a good start. Typically only the ones collected in Africa make it in aquariums

Yeah, I've never had issues with the African blue streak cleaner; well, other than keeping them in the tank. A screen top is a must.
