You might want to read up a little more on Marine Ich. Cleaner shrimp will not cure Ich. Just a heads up.

Thanks. Well from what I read cleaner shrimp will take the ich off the fish. I realize they wont eat free swimming ich or stuff thats not attached but shouldnt it eventually get all the ich off the fish?(I guess thats just my logic behind it that if the ich keeps getting eaten it will soon dissappear)

Like peppermint or skunk shrimp? I know Gold has plenty.

Hey Marcin,

You might want to contact Neal (aka Howdy20012002) within the Vendors Forum of this board. He generally has Cleaner Shrimp and several other inverts.

Thank you. Will definitely look into it.

The only thing that will happen is that the cleaner shrimp will get ich and probably die as well.
QT your fish or find someone that can do it for you. You don't want to infect your main tank.
If you have already put them in then I suggest trying Kick-ich. It's ok on your corals and can usually handle a mild outbreak.

Skunk Shrimp are Cleaner Shrimp. Peppermints do the Aiptasia thing, but also clean fish at night sometimes.

I've yet to see clowns being cleaned by cleaner shrimp. They are usually so hardy as to avoid an ick outbreak. I'd concentrate on your tank parameters.
