The very rare successful keeper of cleaner wrasse are very happy to post their success. Human nature, eh.
Every author of books in the marine hobby will confirm the same and will tell you they are best left in the ocean to do their cleaning duties.
Most LFS staff will tell you the same as well. No one will tell you they are easy to keep.

I remember you saying to me not to keep one and I've had mine for almost a year now, he's fat healthy and happy and I for one am gald I got him. We also got one for my boyfriend's Dad and his cleaner wrasse is doing great. He has had his for about 6 months now.

I have to agree with you. Say if we get a lotto ticket together just imagine the odds we'd create!
