Crosshatch trigger and cleaner shrimp. Or Neon Gobies. ??

[GMGQ]

I got a pinktail trigger almost 2 weeks ago, and this past weekend I added a pair of cleaner shrimp.

Every night before I go to bed, and every morning when I wake up, I go to the tank with my flashlight to make sure both shrimp are still there :S

So far so good! <fingers crossed>

All my fish have been curious about the cleaners, and are constantly swimming around their cleaning cave. Especially the pinktail. But none have made an appointment for a cleaning -- yet.

I had a bluethroat trigger before with 2 cleaner shrimp and the bluethroat never bothered the shrimp either.

Just keep the trigger happily fed, so it wont eye the shrimp...

FYI, you also hear stories about triggers being model citizens, but then 'snapping' and eating inverts after a couple of years.
