A good clean Lion!

[J_Gard88]

I am fairly new to the hobby, going on a year now. I have a Volitan Lion along with other fish but my question is I have a Cleaner shrimp that has been with my lion for about 6 months now and he cleans the Lion ( Even reaches up in his mouth ) I know Lion fish eat shrimps
( Didn't research that in the beginning ) , but he hasn't gone after the shrimp, they seem to be buddy's. Will this someday turn into a tragedy for my cleaner? Anybody else have a unlikely couple out there?

It’s always possible. Keep the Lion well fed and it may be fine... or it may not. Only one way to find out

It would be a unique experience if one day the lion doesn't eat him. Just as with eels these cleaner shrimp relationships using end one day. Nature is nature, even in a glass cage. It's likely more of an instinct thing in the end, that's why the whole "keep them well fed" thing, only works so long.

Well hopefully there not predufish towards him and can live in harmony.
