Blue Cleaner Wrasse

13-06-2010, 10:31 AM

hv bought this with a pair of O. Clownfish from Jireh on impulse without doing research first.

Hid in rocks motionless for a while but started swimming when the clownfish are put in. Then disappeared again. Appeared this morning again swimming.

Found out that this fish is quite difficult to keep due to its feeding behaviour. and chances of survival in tank is slim. Feel guilty buying without doing research first.

Any advice on what i should do to best to keep it alive?

What arosil said was he/she bought the cleaner wrasse with a pair of clownfish.

Its very difficult to keep this species alive, your best bet maybe to try and feed it live bbs or frozen mysis shrimp to see if it eats but the chances are very slim. The chances of this fish dying is much higher than it surviving.

sori my bad.. body awake but eyes not so

maybe u can try feeding with cyclopeeze and if u lucky they will eat brine/mysis shrimps too but surviving rate is still minimal due to lack of natuaral nutrients from the above food

When your tank crash(OS crash), its time to cleanup(reformat hard drive) and setup(install OS) again and add new livestock(re-install software).
