If cleaner shrimp might not compatible, how about cleaner goby or some sort?

I've had mine since last Feb where my wife requested it for valentine's day. It has been a model citizen since.

If you look at the TOTM link in my signature, there is a list of fish I have in the article.

If the fish is added after the shrimp you will probably be ok, but any shrimp, or snail added after are goners....

I have a 7" niger trigger and added a peppermint shrimp long after he was in the tank and the trigger never touched it.

I have one. He leaves the shrimp I ALREADY HAVE alone. Any new additions are gobbled up though. This includes fish. He nips at all new additions.

I just added a mandarin and 2 small ocellaris clownfish and a few small crabs and my niger does not touch any of these new addition. I guess no matter what people say, it is the toss of a dice and one must try it because each fish will behave its own way. They are very intelligent fish and with very different personality. MY guess was that a shy one would not be aggressive and I was right...it is not.
