Getting Oral Care

A tiny shrimp fearlessly enters the mouth of a fish to clean its teeth. Fish value this service as the shrimp removes and eats harmful parasites. (©Jim Greenfield)


Kink says: Pretty cool! If I were a fish in my next life, I'd trust a shrimp to clean my teeth for me. Makes me wonder if they get eaten afterwards . But what's the use of having your teeth cleaned when you get to eat the one cleaning it?! Ugh! I guess the shrimp would have to make sure I'm not the kind of fish who'll eat her alive.

So now we know why shrimps are so tasty! They're basically composed of dead harmful parasites from fish teeth!! *chomp chomp chomp chomp*
