cleaner wrass-losing color!.?

[yamahaguy06]

good day all. I have had two cleaner wrass in my tank for about a month now. They have been eating shrimp and flake. A couple of days ago I lost one of them(cant find it, and it is not swimming around) lol. so i think its dead. And my question is the other one is starting to lose color in his face and its moving its way down. Its just a bla brow? any one have an idea. thanks guys.

What shrimp - brine, mysis?

These fish have form for dying of malnutrition, and it sounds like that's what's up with yours. That's why they shouldn't be sold/bought unless you're really prepared to try to recreate the diet.

Even if you get them eating many die within a few months, on top of their hard feeding requirements they are not hardy to begin with.
