I did not realize how much I missed having a cleaner wrasse in my tank until watching this guy go to town tonight with everyone. Scopas especially seems to like him, keep catching him cleaning around the scar tissue from his "deformity"

Is the copperband eating?
Pretty sure he ate a piece of the nyos artemis earlier, he definitely went after it at least.

Day 1 is scary, we'll see what happens tomorrow though. Chocolate tang is not a fan of this intruder.

Does cleaner wrasse only clean parasites off fish? What other food do they eat? Pods?
Depends on the type. This kind eats anything else as well.

save me from reading back..... what type of cleaner did you get?
Bicolor. I've caught him eating frozen already & from the auto feeder. Just have to make sure I keep up with his metabolism.

CBB still hiding in the corner :confused: chocolate hasn't even looked that way today yet

I like to QT all my fish. Not only for disease, but to get them to eat without competition form others. You be surprised how quick a fish turns into a pig eating all alone. I only treat if needed.

But I may have missed one and have to catch all my fish here shortly. I have an orange shoulder tang that gulps for air only after eating for an hour or so. I need to catch him for fresh water dip to see what comes off of him.

My orange shoulder and my hippo do the same thing and always have. I did a dip on both, but nothing. Come to find out, quite a few others have had this happen with both fish.

Yeah, definitely something I want to set up when we move and I have actual real space. This house is tiny. As it is right now this tank takes up everything lol. The biggest thing I have space for aside from this is a little four gallon which is not suitable for quarantine without creating a lot more stress for the fish.
