[fishboyll]

Hello,room my question is that I just bought a flame angel and when Iput him in the 125 tank with some peppermint shrimp the flame will put his body aginst the shrimp and it will grab on to him then the flame will swim off then come back again then just to do it again.So is the flame just try to get the shrimp out to the open area to eat themor what?please help fishboy

Sounds like the angel wants the shrimp to clean it, pickoff parasites, dead skin, etc. If pepermint shrimp aren't interested in doing the job a cleaned shrimp or fireshrimp will.
