Got a cleaner shrimp! :)

[SaltwaterTeen]

I just got a cool new cleaner shrimp to help out in the tank Also got a arced-eye hawkfish they both are cool, the cleaner shrimp is a neat/interesting/beautiful specimen. I dont know if he has cleaned my fish but I see his anteannas touching and feeling them.

Do you still have those angels?

 

[SaltwaterTeen]

Nope, got rid of them and got 26-30lbs of lr for 'em

 

[SaltwaterTeen]

also getting rid of them and adding the lr my ammonia and trites dropped down to 0 when they were (0.6) <---Eeek

I love my cleaners, expecially peanutbutter. Every time I work in the tank he cleans my arm practically the whole time. You can see his pick in my gallery.
Enjoy, they are a blast.

Breeding them? Wow have fun considering its so difficult it has just fairly recently been done, by a marine lab. Anyways the shrimp will be even cooler when hes inside the hawkfishes stomach. Research your fish....

Hehe, and six my hawk doesnt do anything to it its fine. When it cleans does it take its anteanna and feels the fish? Hes kinda doing that to my starfish

When I put my hand in the tank my coral banded shrimp latches onto my finger with is claws and trys to eat me...is that kinda the same feeling :?

I wish my 2 cleaners actually tried to clean my fish, I think they are fed too well so they don't even bother, althought they do go right after my arm if I stick it in the tank.

Arce-eye hawkfish may eat/nip at anemones, crustaceans, and other fish. They are not reef safe. Good luck

 

[mrmarine]

when it is cleaning it uses the 2 little white things in the middle of it

stick ur hand in and watch it and youll find out
