tangs and cleaner wrasse

[jesspete]

I have a yellow, regal, and purple tang in my 55gallon. I was thinking of getting a cleaner wrasse to help with ich from adding new fish. I know they're part of the reef, but I'd like a part of the reef in my tank too!

Be prepared to catch heat. FWIW...some have had luck keeping these guys and most have not. Not sure if Brazilian still has his....there are a few people who have them, just ask them they best way to help keep them thriving. Good luck

here we go again.. oh no haha

I like cleaner wrasse, but thats just my opinion... I think it's up to you, although Im sure plenty of people will chime in pretty soon saying its a horrible idea

Honestly, if you are getting it for ich, that is the wrong reason. According to many more educated than myself, they are not a good choice for most folks.

Maybe you can look into the neon gobies. THey clean similarly to cleaner wrasses, are more likely to eat prepared foods, and are gorgeous fish.

I caught it-but knew it HAD to be a joke--; and I guess the tang police were enjoying a donut at the local Krispy Kreme--

 

[jesspete]

"Do you know why I pulled you over, son?"


"You thought I had donuts!'
