My cleaner fish doesnt go near ANY of my fish and doesnt clean ANYTHING,, it can be hit or miss... if you have the space you might be better of with NEON GOBY.

i heard those dont last long in aquiriums, ill go wit the shrimp, wen i started this hobby i had a shrimp and he was great, cleaned my fish and my LR. im asking now cause now i have two pieces of coral, and i also have a baby fuzzy dwarf, so i have to make sure hes a big shrimp, but my lion dosent like shrimp live of dead, so i dont think there will b a problem

You are mixing up- neon goby and cleaner wrasse, Your Lion will definately try to make your cleaner shrimp a meal, he cant help it, its just instinct.

I know that but i wasnt aware of the life span of neon gobbies, i know cleaner wrasses usualy die within 6 month of starvation in the home aquarium.

I would not mix a cleaner shrimp with a fuzzy dwarf. Your shrimp will likely get eaten. You may want to go with the goby. You should know that no cleaner is going to remove ich from your system.
