I had one for 8 months. Ate every kind of frozen food, cleaned every fish. Had to get rid of it because of the clams.

Tried replacing with neon gobies. Both of them dead within a week
Neons are tough. Mine will even sit in my hand and clean me!

We experience less disease in our tanks than the wild.. More contained anyhow. I don't see a cleaner wrasse being the only sound choice.

Sorry about your neons. Try again.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
