I went and bought a cleaner shrimp (skunk), and I guess he doesnt know his job. All my fish stop right beside him and try to get him to come onto them and he has no interest> Do you just run a chance of them not cleaning fish, so do some dont> I guess I got the lazy cleaner.
 
How long has he been in the tank? Maybe he just needs some time to settle in.
 
Depends on the individual shrimp but yeah, it could take them a few weeks to truely settle in.
