Pederson Cleaner Shrimp

[Chrisz]

I picked up a Pederson Cleaner Shrimp the one sent was less than a 1/2" long. I'm guessing that dwarf angle fish, clown fish, dottybacks and wrasses would eat it for lunch, am I right?

I've got it in my Pico tank for now but want to know if I will ever be able to put it in my main display tank

At full size, the angel and clowns probably wont mess with it, but the wrasse and dottyback probably will.

I keep 4 of them in a Caribbean mangrove biotope. Yellow headed jaw fish, pygmy cherub, Royal Gramma, neon gobies, sailfin mollies and a wenerrae mantis that arrived as a hitchhiker. Surprised the mantis hasn't taken them down, but so far so good.

My dottyback is quite aggressive, it killed my dragonette. Such a pretty fish but what an ******!

Maybe maybe not. Hard to say.

I think it would be a cool addition to a pico. I would probably leave it there. I tried one once but it disappeared.

I had 4 in my nano at one point, clownfish and pink streak wrasse left them alone.

Wondering what to feed this guy? I have put clam, reef frenzy and pellet food in there, it seems to get excited when I add food but never seems to find the food and eat. Id think its blind and its sniffer is off
