All i am saying is that from the "scientific" papers i read online, crypto is not a part of a cleaner shrimp diet. Ich is external and internal. Cleaner shrimp cant clean the internal.

It looks like you pbt has partial immunity. A mature tank like yours im sure helps. My infestion is pretty extreme though. I have a couple of fish with upwards of 50 spots on them.

Talking about 50 spots of ich . You should see my purple tang and Chevron tang when i first add them into the tank. The purple turn light blue with TONS of ich. BTW, both of my fish got scars from that incident...... But they all healthy and fat now. (No meds for my fish ).
