Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse

[singold]

Anybody have success with this fish?

Very poor shipper. Survival rate is very low.

An occasional fish will do well but the survival rate for this fish is terrible. Its a poor shipper, a poor feeder and the removal of these fish from the reef may be causing harm in the wild. I would skip this fish for all of these reasons.

Will skip the Bluestreak Cleaner fish then, what about the Neon Cleaner Goby like picture below? Trying to get a fish that will clean my other fish more actively than the Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp I have.

You can get captive bred neon gobies, so the effect on the ocean is zero. They are supposed to be very hardy.

Cleaner wrasses, not so hardy.

Yes the cleaner goby will do well in your tank. Often available in pairs and usually available tank bred and raised. Great selection.

I have had my cleaner wrasse (Felix....from the odd couple) about 6 months. He is doing very well. I love to watch him swim, he kinda dances in a weird way. Anyway he eats like a pig and he LOVES to eat the broccoli I hang from the food clip for my Hippo and blennies. I know 6 months is not a long time as a survival rate but he is happy, fat and loves to get around the tank to clean the fish and they look forward to his visits. I do agree though that they usually do not do well. It is too bad they can not be captive bred, they have great little personalities. When he passes I will get cleaner shrimp.
