i bought 2 of those fish intro them into my tank ..within 3 to 4 day they all of sudden die...my question is are they easy to rise...i hear from other lfs they are hard to take care off

The only thing I can recommend is that they eat frozen before you purchase them. I have two of the Bluestreak cleaner wrasse's and they are doing really well, fat, happy and keeping all my fish cleaned HOWEVER they also eat frozen brine, mysis and marine cuisine which I feed daily. Unless you have alot of fish that need constant cleaning the only way these guys will survive is eating frozen.

There really isn't any tried and true method to keeping these fish alive. People who have gotten them to live in captivity are really the exception rather than the rule. These fish play an important role in nature and fulfill a very needed niche that is difficult, if not impossible to replicate in nature. I would accept your failure and not try to keep these fish again.

These fish should remain in the ocean.
