Cleaner wrasse?

[ErinCahir]

Does anyone have one? I'd like to get one for my tank.... Really, I wanted to get the skunk cleaner shrimp, but I don't think it would go over too well with the trigger.
My coral beauty keeps swimming up to my sleeper goby and trying to get a cleaning. Then when I put peppermints in during the week he tried to get a cleaning from them, too...
I just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with them... The guy at the LFS said they're voracious eaters. If that's the only special care they need, I got that handled.

They have very poor survival rates in captivity. They only eat fish parasites, so they usually starve quickly, unless they are at an LFS where there's a constant influx of new fish.

You should go with the cleaner goby instead. They look very similar, the do the same thing, they just eat other stuff too.

Thanks Biff. Glad I had a bad feeling about it and held off instead of just buying one...

The few I ever had only lasted 4 months at the most. As mentioned above they have a diamal survival rate.
