Cleaner shrimp

HI,

Cleaner shrimp are easier to care for than some of the Gobies,
I tried to put a neon in my tank and they seemed to dissapear, the cleaner shrimp are always very intersesting to watch they follow me around as i clean the glass they even give me a free nail cleaning while i move rocks.
I have a pair in the 55 gal the female has eggs never seen any babies probably feeders for the tank.

I also have 1 coral banded in each tank another interesting shrimp.
For me shrimp are the best cleaners of many inverts.
I have several peppermint, coralbandeds per tank, and skunks 2 in the 55 and 1skunk in the 37. I think shrimp are better than hermits for tanks.

 

Da Skunks win!!!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up getting two skunk shrimp. The final decision came down to asking my two closest LFS's to get in either neon gobies &/or skunk shrimp. One store had the shrimp in a matter of days, so they are now sitting in the back of my tank, washing and waxing everyone willing to wait in line.

They are fun to watch...
