Why do these small fishes sometimes swim by the sharks?

Question

same as q

Answer 1

I THINK ITS B-CUZ THEYRE EATING THE SHARK'S DEAD SKIN OR SOMETHING......

Answer 2

They clean the shark's body, so the shark doesn't really  mind them. And the fishes get transportation and the safety of being around the shark.

Answer 3

Scraps

Answer 4

Hahah I was wondering the same exact thing! (Shark Week)

I mean the sharks don't even bother to eat them. I finally figured out what the fish do - basically they just clean the shark!  

Answer 5

There is a fish called the remora that attach to sharks and swims along with them.  There are a few fish that swim close that feed on small bits of food that get away from the shark.  Most shark species visit "cleaning stations" just like fish do.  They just are still and let the little cleaners do their thing.  I've seen film of schools of baracuda mixing with sharks.

Answer 6

They clean the sharks and can eat little scraps of meat that float by when the shark feeds.  They also get a safe ride so it's a symbiotic relationship between the remoras (the fish) and the shark.  Both creatures benefit in their relationship.

Answer 7

hoping to get the left part of shark's meal.
