    the fish don't seem to be interested in being groomed in the light of the day.
    Give it time. It takes a while. I have a cleaner shrimp and the only fish that has really figured it out is a chromis. The shrimp tries for the royal gramma to but he won't stick around long enough.

    another question. My bro made a bet with me to stick my hand in the tank to see if the cleaner shrimp would "bite". It just backed away slowly, but didnt really run. But the Blood shrimp came out of the cave and was aiming for my hand. I backed off cause that is a big shrimp! lol

    But it seemed like it was very used to hands being in the tank. Which brings up the question, what can I use to feed it from my hand? Can I use any type of meat? Basically something I could find around the house would be good. We dont have clams or anything lying around to chop up lol
