I have a skunk cleaner shrimp that won't clean. He is running away from the fish. I have a CB Angel that desperately wants to be cleaned and it runs and hides. He's only been in there for a few days. Will have warm up after he's acclimated? Thanks!
 
Some cleaner shrimp won't clean. I'd give it a bit more time, it took my cleaner about two weeks to start. I'd say that if after a month it doesn't then you probalby out of luck.

I have had mine for about a week but haven't really looked to see if he is cleaning my fish, but he is to the point when I stick my hand in the tank he comes swimming toward me jumps on my hand and I think he cleans it . It feels like it.

Some cleaners just will not clean. That is how it goes, just like some LMB's won't touch hair algae. Give him some time though, he may come around.
