And why you should not buy them and ask your LFS not to carry them anymore.

Rarely do they survive. Often bought by unsuspecting newbies who were told they would get rid of ich or prevent it's appearance

Well, did you spot it? When you do do not tell anyone because I want everyone to read this short artlicle.

Thanks for sharing! Yup, found it! Very cool!

cleaner wrasse
 

which is why i'm trying to breed neon gobies

Wow good read. Thx

just wondering how they could prevent cleaner wrasse from entering certain areas for 8 + years..does not sound possible, thus the study sound a bit unrealistic from A to Z.

I have read that before but it did not convince me. I do have a cleaner wrasse, not to clean my fish because they have no parasites, I have it because I like them. he's doing great and he's part of the community just like the other fish in my tank.

If removing cleaner wrasse make the reef deprived of herbivores, then taking herbivores for the aquarium trade should be as bad as taking any cleaner wrasse.

Come on folks.

Your LFS already knows. They bring in many unsuitable species on a regular basis. Every store brings something they know most likely won't live.

But someone said to me once... "if I don't carry it, they will buy it somewhere else. "

It's business.


I personally don't feel talking to the LFS matters.

It's better to educate the masses. Once the people realize , they stop buying on their own, then LFS stops buying.

Great article. Tell your LFS! :whoo:


I am with you on this one naesco. Thanks for posting.

Spot what?

I saw my neon on my tang yesterday. He now hangs close to
My cleaner shrimp.



Does his job apparently!

Great fish. Good luck.
