I'm not having any problem getting them. In fact they are quite cheap
only $22.00. I just hate to buy two more if they are going to hide all

and takes the food from my hand. Does anyone out there have several in
there tanks? If so do they gather in a group and become more confident
like the scarlet cleaners (the red and white stripped ones)
