Wimpy skunk cleaners

[Nate]

Greg,

I would avoid the cleaner wrasses, they do not last long in captivity. The only time in my 8 years at (dare I say it) BA's that I saw one live longer than a year was in the shark tank, and we had them for like 4 years. Other than that, they can be expected to last 1 month to 5 or 6months at the most.

This post is IMO

PS This is the standard cleaner wrasse, some of the different types tend to last longer if it wasnt such a small reef tank (which I would like to see some time!) I would suggest mono argentus, or tiny heniochus butterflies, and even smaller angels, like baby queens, and frenchs, etc... as they tend to do a good job, and last a lot longer in captivity. I would say hypo/hyper salinity and garlic is the way to go.
