Cleaner wrasse

[ErosJN]

For those who do own cleaner wrasses, maybe you can answer a question of mine. Does your wrasse only clean certain fish in your aquarium? Ive had my cleaner wrasse for about a year now, the thing eats any and everything I put in the tank from flakes to cubes to algae sheets, but when it comes to cleaning, he only cleans my atlantic blue tang! Is this usual behavior?

Sometimes they will only clean fish that "ask" for it. From what I've seen though they mainly clean bigger fish.

I see. That mskes sense, it cleaned a few of my tangs until the atlantic was introduced which is the biggest tang in my set up. The Atlantic rarely asks to be cleaned.. most of the time the wrasse is bothering him so he gives it a chace.
