Cleaner Shrimp

[H17E5H]

I have two cleaner shrimp and they seem to be loosing their touch as they seem not to want to clean any fish that hangs around to be cleaned. Any suggestions why or how i could get them back to doing what they do best?

In the beginning they were out in the open constantly cleaning the fish but now all they do is stay behind a rock and eat the flake.

Are they more into the flake then cleaning the fish???

cleaner shrimp clean fish for a reason, they eat parasites. if your feeding them flake then they will soon take the easy option ;)
