Cleaner Shrimp is Attached to Me!

[ldreefer]

Hey Guys,

I have had a cleaner shrimp named Jacque in my tank for about a month now. He has become completely attached to me and every time I put my hand in the tank he automatically jumps on it and starts crawling all over my arm. I just think its hilarious that he does it every time I put my hand in the tank and I think it's funny that he is so fond of me.

Anyway, here is a pic of him on my hand:

Yea, they are very friendly to everyone who come near them.

That's crazy. He's like my favorite thing in my tank because he's so friendly!

Mine, which the wife also named Jacque, does the same thing.

 

[ldreefer]

Haha. I love it. I think they're pretty brave. Mine has pinched me at least once when I moved my hand too fast for his liking.

There's some that pick at your nails or skin eating something...has he done that to you? Clean your fingernail hah

Our hands are filthy and they're glad to help out. They pick off any dead skin and any organics you may have under your nails. Definitely a pain when my pair steals all my acans food though...too neat to get rid of though, I've had em forever.
