Cleaning Shrimp!!

[sapgranth25]

How easy is a cleaning shrimp to keep in a tank where it will not have large fish to clean/eat off in the tank seen as my fish are only a few inch`s long so would it just do the shrimp thing & find un eaten food & stuff of LR to eat are would it just die without fish to clead?

also would is harm my little sexy shrimp??

Skunk cleaners will eat any kind of food, so I wouldn't worry about that. I don't know whether they would bother the sexy shrimp, but it is risky.

how big is the tank? i have a 55g with a cleaner, a peppermint, and a fire shrimp. its big enough that they stay out of each others way. BTW, i have yet to see my cleanr shrimp "clean" anything. he just goes nuts when i feed.

its only 29gal with LR few corals,inverts,crabs,snails,fish but i was wondering with the sexy shrimp been kinda small larger than normal think its cause he is well kept lol but would he be a nice meal for a cleaner mmmmm i mean he dose host my corals only leaving them at night as most of my corals close at night etc

I have a pair of cleaners, I love those guys !!!

I can hand feed the lil buggers.. They are pretty mellow shrimp and will eat flake/pellet, whatever they can get, they even eat the nori I put on a clip for my yellow tang
