lazy cleaner shrimp...

[petermai]

i got a cleaner shrimp 2 inches in length. he's a fairly big guy. there's an outbreakof ich in my tank. fish after fish are swimming up to him seeking service buthe won't do anything! he'd just feel them out without picking anything off their bodies. fishes would lay still on rocks next to him. is he defective? btw, he, or i should say she, is full of eggs.

I heard stories that elder cleaners become lazy

Lazy is a human attribute. The shrimp doesn't "feel" like cleaning, and it won't, due to god knows what reason.

Your shrimp are mommy and daddy - all at once.
