Huma Huma & Cleaner Shrimp??

[sdusky]

How likely is it that my Huma Huma Trigger will eat a cleaner shrimp if I added one to my tank?? Any thoughts are helpful.

No personal experience but if I was a betting man and I am I would say bye bye shrimp

 

[doggie]

Very likely.
My niger trigger eats crabs and snails. I buy about 6 snails a month and they all disappear.

Very likely.. But you never know, some fish are different.. I'd try with a cheap but big shrimp just to test it

Thanks to all. The Huma Huma is still very small, and maybe if the shrimp is big enough he will leave it alone for awhile. If not, nothing like a good shrimp dinner

Cleaner shrimp seem to get a free pass. Put them in at night when you rtrigger is sleeping. I have peppermint shrimp in with my Huma Huma. They hide during the day though

I've had my 3 cleaner shrimp for almost 3 years now with triggers and all sort of agressive fish and they're still alive and they don't hide. Even my clown trigger swims up to them to get cleaned.

i had a cleaner with a niger trigger, didnt even try to eat it, would get cleaned a few times aswell

added the fire shrimp last night to the tank and with in 15mins it had set up a cleaning station and was cleaning everybody. The Huma Huma got into the action and took a turn. No problems!!
