I bought my only cleaner wrasse from Them roughly six months ago and he is thriving on new life spectrum. He also eats mysis shrimp.

Cheers,

Sammy

They will not get enough food and will starve. They eat parasites and even with what we stock in a heavily stocked aquarium........ they will not get enough food.

It's better to keep them in the oceans I think.

Sammy.......... it's good the he has lived for 6 months but I've heard tell of them not lasting long in capivity. 6 months is a very short time. If that fish lasts 2+ years........ you have to write an article about the care you are giving it.

Howdy,

Unfortunalty alot of the info you find on the net regarding reef tanks and species kept in them is old info. Not only is my wrasse Thriving on NLS he has doubled in size. My Cleaner wrasse eats everything I put in the tank starting with New Life Spectrum(flake & .25mm pellets), Ocean Nutrition green marine algae (He is like a little pitbull when attacking this stuff), PEI mysis, brine shrimp and AI's juiced-up. Also I havent had any signs of parisites (ick ect..) in my tank for over 5months.

*Tip* Believe HALF of what you see and NONE of what you hear cause the only thing thats a sure 100% guarentee in this world is Death, oh and maybe Taxes.

HTH,

Sammy

I'll reserve jusdgement till more success has been reported.

I still think that the cleaner wrasse should not be in our tanks.

I had a cleaner wrasse that lived a for about 2.5 years with good success - He ending up getting killed by a mantis as he had a huge slash across his neck. However, he too would eat all foods I introduced to the tank. I anything he seem to be more interested real food than parasites. He has a great eater but a sh*tty cleaner.

Sammy, If your wrasse is eating, I dont think you have anything to worry about.
