cleaner shrimp vs bubble tip

[chapagetti]

my bta is still alive.. it's in a quarantine tank along with the rest of my fish, minus the goby I couldn't catch. the parasite is known as cirolanid isopods.. they are nasty bugs that feed on fish. its a very rare problem that I have unfortunately had the opportunity to deal with. I'm starving them out and also catching as many as I can in a 2-liter bottle trap. nothing I can do but wait it out. I did however try what you said before I had taken out the livestock and fed the shrimp.. he left the nem alone but wouldnt clean the fish! i almost took him out and made him into a shrimp tempura.. lol

Hope your tank is working out well. I added an anemone to my tank at about 4 months and everything is fine just religiously checked my levels to make sure no spikes happened. My shrimp does the same thing to my rbta, I swear the shrimp does nothing but make me mad, some days I wish my anemone would eat it haha. I feed my clowns brine shrimp that my shrimp also will start eating, while that’s happening I feed my nem. The shrimp floating around usually distracts the shrimp long enough for the anemone to eat.
