cleaner shrimp
Do puffers eat cleaner shrimp? I know that it varies by individuals but in general. I have a GSP and I want some shrimp.... I know, I know...

Re: cleaner shrimp
GSP don't spend life near reefs(Only rarely go out to sea), so it's unlikely a GSP would learn they are friends, not food. There are reports of valentini puffers or similar getting cleaned rather than eating the tankmates, but it's VERY unlikely to work with a GSP.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: cleaner shrimp
I agree as far as keeping the shrimp away from the puffer. He may "taste" him one day.
