"Hi, I have had 2 cleaner Wrasse in my 900 litre fish only tank for about 6 months. Before I bought them I studied their eating habits in the shop (already being aware of their apparent difficulty) I’m not that seasoned in keeping marines but have kept tropicals including discus for about 10 yrs. My thoughts were if they’re gonna be kept in an aquarium I’d rather it be my 8ft tank thank somebody else’s 3 foot. They eat anything that goes in the tank, in fact they eat more prepared or frozen foods than they do mucus and the like from other fish. I think the advancement in tank husbandry allows hobbyists to better take care of their animals than in the past. With the Biologists who frequent these forums who say these fish should be left in the ocean I whole heartedly agree- I believe they should all be left in their natural habitat but unfortunately that is never going to happen so I would just prefer the people who buy these beautiful creatures to ensure that they research their fish properly and do everything in their power to provide them with the best environment that they are able."
