cleaner shrimp eating ich????

[biggz2282]

last night around 11pm i looked at my tank and it looked like 3 of my fish had early sign of ick
a couple of them had white spots on them...

i didnt treat them right away cause i wanted to make sure and see if the symptoms worsened by the next day

well when i i turned on the lights this morning no one had anything on them at all....
could this be cause i have 4 cleaner shrimp in the tank?

maybe they "cleaned up shop" while the fish were sleeping?

Don't think it quit worked that way but yes it's possible that your fish went to the cleaner shrimp. My 3 tangs got to my 2 neon gobys and get cleaned daily (because my cleaner shrimp is a lazy punk) they haven't had a spot in forever.

I had a couple of spots awhile ago on 2 tangs but my cleaner wrasse and shrimp did indeed eliminate them. . I now have a neon goby and a cleaner shrimp, the cleaner wrasse has gone to the big reef in the sky
