Hi bros,

Is this 'cleaner' fish good for cleaning other fishes like the cleaner wrasse?

Or will it harm other fishes by ###### off their slim coat?

In the wild, it sticks on sharks, rays and other big fish, but in the tank .... ?

Hi bros,

It was stuck onto a trevally which i caught during my fishing trip. I feed it mysis shrimps and it has start eating. It attaches itself to the wall of the tank by the suckers on top of its head. .

Remoras are just hitchhikers!

They stick to pelagics so when they feed, they can go after the scraps of food. They do not pick parasites off, they are simply too large also!!

I once saw a remora at a fish shop at Serangoon.. near the mrt station... it is big and is of the same size as the shark they had.. so you can imagine the stress the shark has to move.. the remora just made itself happy by sticking underneath the shark.. Cute..But like carrying a sumo wrestler for the shark!
