Cleaner Shrimp Requirements

[aandersen]

What do you need to have for a cleaner shrimp??? Do they need a certain amount of LR, also, what do they eat.

They will eat just about anything you feed your fish.

They have few requirements. They are sensitive to water chemistry and temp fluctuation, as all inverts are. They will eat anything. Just make sure you don't put them in with any fish that eat shrimp and you should be set. The more you have, the bolder they will be. I had 2 and they were annoyingly bold, I had to physically push them away when I fed anything else. And they had to be fed first. They both died during a power outage last fall and I haven't replaced them yet.
