i have 4 cleaner shrimp.
one of the ones in this video is less than 1.5" still a baby !
considered to the other three being 3+ inches!
i swear the shrimp fight and are more territorial amongst themselves than being bother by the fish...
my 22inch eel will sit with any of them or all of them all day long...
the niger and three spot damsel seem to really love the biggest of the 4 cleaners, the only fishes i have not seen go near the cleaner shrimp are...
fire clown, marine betta, and blue-headed wrasse.

its an amazing co-existance. They very well could be the snowflakes snack but he chooses to have a friend instead.

i have 2 cleaners and a fire shrimp in with a 8" pink tail and a 6" bluejaw trigger. no problems at all. aggressive fish, to a point, can be kept with cleaners. if it sounds dumb, dont do it.

I had a Peppermint Shrimp with a Porc Puffer and SFE for a long time, but then I got a Harlequin Tusk and he made him into a snack.
