I have had one for 2 years in a 60 gallon cube. Mine is a little different than most. It eats furiously, probably more than anything else in the tank.
DISCLAIMER: This is my experience with my common cleaner wrasse, fish have different likes and dislikes as well as personalities. Just like people
I watched mine eat at the store before buying it. Never had problems getting it to eat.
Pros:
good at cleaning up ick
very active fish
interesting to watch cleaning.
Cons:
-Jumper (I have a net over the tank and he has ended up in the overflow from hitting the net and landing in the overflow a few times)
-Mine likes to pick at clams, most don't however. (this was a healthy clam that I had for years before the cleaner wrasse, I put the cleaner wrasse in the sump and let the clam recover then I sold the clam)
-They can do their job too well. Meaning they will end up pestering fish like tangs and butterflies into hiding.
If I was to do it over again I would get a pair of neon gobies. Still interesting fish, clean up parasites, dont pester fish, and less likely to starve to death.
Hope this helps.
