cleaner shrimp like you too?

Whenever I put my hand in tank to clean or take out a dog hair in the tank...*yes my dog shaked when my hood was open for feeding..so theres his hairs in there now* Anyway whenever, I put my hand in the tank to do whatever my cleaner shrimp always climbs on my thumb and tries to clean it .

 

Haha - mine does too!

Amazingly fearless, it'll climb all over my arm when I'm doing work deeper in the tank. Perhaps it thinks I'm in need of a clean, eh?

 

yip. same experience here.

I do keep finding my hairs (I have longish hair) stuck to my PH : funny you mention that... my blenny plays with it... then I pull it out and the blenny will perch and stare at me. I pretend like he's pissed.

 

haha, yes my hair is in the tank also,, little bit, but mostly my dog hair.
Good think its a pomeranian, easy to grab underwater, since its long hair

 

haha, shrimp cleaning human, thats new.

 

Mine will come after anything that is stuck in the tank (hand, nori and clip, scraper). I think that it is funny and my son likes to watch. They are a great addition to a tank

 

I guess no need to work hard on catching cleaner shirmp when you need it somewhere else hehe. What other shrimps can i put with cleaner shrimp? That will do no damadge to critters, fish, and reef system? Or can i just get 1 more clearner shrimp?

 

haha thats awsome mine does to but so does my cleaner wrasser so i get tag teamed by them lol

 

are cleaner wrasser, good to have in reef tank? Like 29 gallon tank?

 

Probably to small, and they are very hard to keep, unless you can get the african strain i would not even try. Plus with a small tank, it might stress out ur fish bc it doesnt have alot to try and clean, thus going after the same two fish all the time would stress everything out.
