My First Customer!

Melanie · 11-16-2007, 04:08 PM

My skunk cleaner shrimp finally got his first customer today (besides me...he loves to jump on my hand any time it's in the tank.)

"Hey...this guy looks like he could use a good cleaning."

"Here, let me get this little spot on your back."

"If you would just roll over a little, I could get your belly too."

"Don't move, I'm gonna dig around your gills for a little while."

"This is a MESS! Don't you ever clean back here?"

Too funny Melanie!

It took me 6 or 7 months to ever see mine get to work on a fish.
I just thought he was unemployed. lol

I like watching mine attach to the side of my Foxface.

Thats awesome! Just wait until the cleaner shrimp starts to go for rides on the fish as they swim. Its a lot of fun to watch.

The title of this thread seemed a little "off-topic" when I read it, if you know what I mean...

LOL! Great pictures! That blenny is SO cute, and I wish my shrimp would try to clean my fish! Nice shrimp!
