any specific vitamins I need for my cleaner wrasse? He eats frozen brine and mysis(on a cycling schedule) and we'll be trying out minced salmon and larger shrimp. Not sure if it needs supplementation like some sharks do.

Oh also, how fast does cleaners digest? I love feeding him but he hardly takes a few shrimps to fill...

I don’t give mine anything special.
No idea. I feed a few times a day though and of course mine gets a bit of food off the other fish.

I'm currently feeding herwhenever I feel like it... which comes out to more than she wants to eat for 2 - 6 times a day, and my foxface cleans up the leftovers. She'll also nibble my arm.
I haven't seen my dusky in a while though... wonder what's up with him. He went to bed last night somewhere in the rocks and that's the last I've seen of him.
maybe I should call the dusky a they? It looks like it's starting to transition right now...

A sand sleeper will do that especially if your doing stuff with the tank

Nevermind, found him. Turns out the engineer goby poured extra sand on him when he was working.

There it is.
"Honey, I'd have had to buy 20 more fish if I wanted to get a wild caught cleaner. This way I'm SAVING money!"

Was this in the tank with your Thalassoma wrasse? If so, urchins are definitely on their menu.Well this is a bad sign. Anyone have any thoughts who could have done it?

Yellowfin been hiding but coming out for food and looked good. My guess is DT is ganging up on him with earl and others are trying to get above yellowfin. Came back from the weekend and didn’t see yellowfin. Think earl and now DT are pushing him because DT feeling tougher than he is and wants to be up with earl. Others been trying to get past yellowfin and it’s perfect time for them to hang up. Life finds away and will say the outcome on this one. Think I may sell magma because she will get hit with a bunch of wrasse when I add her. I don’t want anymore fairy’s so adding a group is out. Thought about adding a group with magma then catching them to sell but I’m done. May even sell off some wrasse from display. One fish besides a potters I wanted. @Slocke posted a pic of it. Think those will be the only two wrasse I’ll consider.
Anyone willing to come to N with cashJ, a female magma could be yours and possibly others but it will have to be a thick stack of bills
