My cleaner shrimp went to work on my yellow tank cleaning minor ich from him and the rabbit fish. In the corner of the tank upside down between the rocks the fish were taking turns with the shrimp. AMAZING NATURE !!! Who needs coper and chemicals.The fish are clean as a whistle.

Just to make sure you know, a cleaner shrimp won't get all the ich out of the tank. They help but can't get it all.

Can you have more than one cleaner shrimp in the same tank? Also has anyone else see something like that?

 

[Andrew]

Yea, you can keep more than one in the same tank as long as it's not a small 10 gallon for example. Cleaner shrimp are known for cleaning off fish.

I'm gonna have to agree here with andrew. The cleaner shrimp won't get all of it off, and the ich will eventually spread. Its inevitable, and a dangerous situation to put your fish in.

He'll clean them, but the ich is still in the tank. The fish you have may even develop an immunity of sorts to it. However, any new fish you add, will most likely develope ich. The only way to rid your system of it, is to remove the fish to a hospital tank, and treat for ich, and let your tank run fallow (fishless) for at least 6 weeks.

I bet that was a cool site to see. It's great when things work the way you want in a tank. I'm still waiting for my clown to host the anenome in its tank.
