With My experience keeping a cleaner wrasse for the past 6 months I would
strongly suggest keeping just one in a 75 gallon tank.It depends on your
fish load.There main diet is parasites on fish.My cleaner wrasse has adapted
very well at eating live brine soaked in kentmarine zoe and zoecon.I haven't
tried live blackworms yet.I quess I'm lucky to get one to eat a variety of
foods.He also picks at the dried seaweed I feed my tangs.He also eats the
ocean nutrition prime reef flake food.I'm one to feed 3 times a day.Some
people only feed once or twice a day or less.I have no filter or prefilter
to trap any debri's.I run a skimmer 24/7 and have 140 pounds of live rock in
a 70 gallon reef tank.Tons of copepods running around.I just plumbed a 15
gallon refugium last night and plan on getting that running this
weekend.Just my 2 cents.
