SRC Member Bulldozer Posted July 10, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 Something funny to share. I bought a Rock Beauty (Small chap) about 1 month ago. He was very greedy and was chased by all my various Dwarf Angels intially. Fins being nipped too. Now everyone let him be and he roams and eats like nobody's business. But I found out something and I wonder if it's a norm. My Fat Blue Tang actually swims near to him. Stay still and my Rock Beauty Junior actually starts to 'Clean' his body like what a Cleaner Shrimp or Cleaner Wrasse will do. Is it true that some Angel Fishes practice that ???? Anybody has seen such situation before ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member limsc Posted July 10, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 From my limit knowledge, some species of angelfish perform cleaning when young so as to survive from the predator fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Bulldozer Posted July 11, 2012 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 11, 2012 I see.... Today I just confirmed. I sat in front of my tank for 1 hours plus... The Blue Tang is the King of my tank kept hovering and even turned sideways just to let the Rock Junior pecked on his body. The Blue Tang looks Super High .. hahahahahhaha And I think I am being Lucky.... now the Multicolour, Coral Beauty, Flame, Flame Back, Keyhole doesn't even bully him at all.. Only the Clakii Clown chased him at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Juvenile Holacanthus and some other juvenile of other bigger species angelfish acts as cleaner fishes in the wild for larger fishes so it is quite expected that will happen if you have very large fish such as tangs in your tank..
