Peppermint Shrimp

[aquatica-tech]

Haha I was on a digging quest looking for my sandfleas I put in there which i dont really know if there good for a tank so thats why i put it in my sump. So while I was looking my peppermint was reaching out from his rock to my hand, so i moved my hand closer and it started picking off stuff from my hand

Does you guys Peppermints do that ?

I've had my cleaner shrimp do the same thing.
Heck, I even have the female from my clown pair nibble my hands...

my peppermints like to clean my cuticles.
if you stick a snail to your sand theyll do the same thing. it tickles.

My cleaner's do that, but my peppermints are rarely seen unless some cyclopeez gets put in.

My shrimp start to salsa if I put cyclopeez in the tank

Basically, all cleaner shrimp do this, as long as you are not a threatening image to them. Its just like what they do in the wild.
