Am I lucky or what?

[renato120]

Lots of people say that the Cleaner wrasses should not be taking out of to where it belongs to. (The ocean)
I have been succssesful with mine in a small tank. I have a 60g cube.
Mine is 8 months old. Eats everything from flake food, frozen food to sea weed.
Loves to nip on my arms when I have my hands in the tank, doesn't leave me alone for one second. Couple weeks ago He learned on how to take the food out of the acans when I feed them. (tick me off)
Not sure if I am a lucky guy or if its just a mith that they are a hard fish to take care of it.
How long you have yours for?

I also have a cleaner wrasse and have had him for 4 years. He eats the same thing yours does but the past few days he has gotten very aggressive toward my snails and I don`t know what has triggered him to do this. It has been several days and now he stopped after I posted , I think he was afraid of being evicted! I have been around them long enough that I can see they have different personalities just as any other fish. From what you said mine does exactly the same, all is well! I may need a treadmill for mine , he eats whatever and he is getting a little fluffy! .

what happened?

I was moving some Rockwork around and the lights when off while doing so. I thought nothing of it so I kept working. Apparently the rocks I was working on is where he buried himself at night. I found him in the morning dead crushed pretty flat. I was pretty upset over that one.

Mine was great! But he jumped out when I switched my glass top to light diffuser. I've switched back to glass now.
