Cleaner wrasse and triggers??

I've got a two inch cleaner wrasse, 2.5 inch clown trigger and 2.5 inch huma trigger. First of all, I think the fact that my cleaner wrasse has survived for over 2 weeks now is a good sign. But I've noticed some weird behavior. The huma lets the wrasse clean him up, spik and span, but the clown doesn't let him come near him. Well, at least they all somewhat get along.
By the way, if you say cleaner wrasse quickly, it might cause you to laugh. I told my girlfriend it was a cleaner wrasse and she broke out laughing.

Your clown trigger probably dosen't let the cleaner wrasse come near them because clown triggers are more aggressive than huma triggers.
 
i bought a cleaner wrasse and the clown wouldnt stop chasing him. but couldnt get him, and the next day i couldnt fidn the wrasse

Saltrigger: you said that the cleaner wrasse was going to be food for the trigger. Does the size of the trigger matter? Anyone had a similar experience. I was just thinking myself of getting a cleaner wrasee to help a blue angel and some triggers (huma, and niger) with parasites. Maybe not. :confused:
 
it all depends on size, for parasites try this, feed your fish their food soaked in garlic juice , you can buy the pillsa at health sotres and poke them with a toothpick and poor the juice out. this helps their amune system, i do it once a week. also you can soak your food in marine zoe, it helps out a ot espically for angels and picky vegiterians
