Cleaner Wrasse

MoneyMakerBowMan · 09-17-2007, 02:14 PM

My cleaner wrasse seem to have lock jaw. Not sure if there is anything I can put into the tank to help that go away. He is not eating but he seems to want to because any time i put food in the tank he swims right to it
thanks

Cleaner wrasses are not easy to keep. most of them die pretty quick. he may be expecting live food as well. If you need cleaning i would suggest a skunk cleaner shrimp.

it is very difficult to get a cleaner wrasse to eat anything besides parasites off of another fish.

they very seldom go after food in the water column.

i have a cleaner wrasse and i guess my little guy is unusal then. He eats anything i throw in the tank. He has even learned to bully the tangs for the algea clip.

I had a cleaner for over four yrs he ate everything I put in the tank including Nori. I lost him when we moved 3 weeks ago.
