Incidentally, the cleaner shrimp is really interesting to watch. It's like a car wash for fish. The shrimp picks a place in the tank and the fish will come in and hover to let the shrimp clean them - its so cool.  |
I used to have a cleaner shrimp but it died when i was switching things over to my 110 gallon tank, so did you say to only get 1 cause right now i have a coral banded shrimp in there and im not sure if they fight or not? but il most likely get one or two tiny ones cause i like watching things grow instead of buying fully grown ones .
