    Got me a Neon Goby a few days ago. He seems to be doing his job like some folks said. The tangs sit real still while he cleans them. They hold out their pectoral fins and he cleans all around it.

    I bought him to see if he helps my Regal with ich. I'm not sure if it will actually help , but at least it may make him feel better.

    You might look into a UV sterilizer to help with the Ick!

    I used one in the past for the same plus I just like the look of the little guy. The one issue I had is that he caught ich very quickly after picking from the others and wouldn't clean until the ich cleared up. I have had luck (maybe) with microbe lift Therapy - could have just been coincidence but after second dose, ich seemed to disappear from tank and fish seemed healthier as well.
