Negative.

Pretty sure my red coris kills the shrimp

Goby?

Goby?

Neon Cleaner Goby. Not very well suited especially for aggressive fish tanks. They stay small and have a better reputation for not dying and not biting fish.

How many should I get for the tank you think?

My fish aren't aggressive.

Cleaner wrasse is an option that i see many use.

@Slocke @JoJosReef Cleaner Wrasse? Tank should be big enough.

As far as Gobies go, you could get away with several as they stay small. There's Yellow, Blue, and Sharknose (Blue and Yellow).

They are very aggressive. Just ask @i cant think

Honestly get a hogfish instead. They come in many sizes but all are good cleaners who happen to be wrasse

Cleaner wrasse is aggressive??

What get like 4-6 gobies for a 200?

 

[Slocke]

Little b****** but there is a hogfish for every tank

For ich management?

For ich management?

Yeah. They also clean fish but they don't rely on it like cleaner wrasse do.

So you think no cleaner wrasse.


Definitely a pack of the gobies sounds awesome.

My vote on cleaners… absolutely not unless you don’t want other wrasses or small fish. Mine was ruthless, it outright killed a couple of sensitive wrasse (my poor jade was blamed for it but now she’s living her best life in an 8’x3’ coral tray) and chased my fairies.

Lfs only has one. Hmmm....

Goby? PetCo sells them regularly for $15-$20. Usually just the blues but occasionally you can find a Sharknose or Yellow.

I don't have a saltwater Petco. Atleast not that I've heard of

Same as any other fish though, make sure they're not excessively skinny.
