thats so cool... i just got a raccoon butterfly and right when i put it in the tank the cleaner shrimp jumped right on it. its so fun to watch. love the pics... how often do u catch your shrimp doing his job?

Not too often do I see him actually cleaning the fish. He is always trying to clean them but its the fish that deceided wether to let him clean or not. My Fire Shrimp has ben cleaning my Powder Brown tang but havent got any photos yet.
