Did ants learn this from cleaner fish?
There are small ants that clean big ants without meeting any agression, just like small cleaner fish can clean sharks.

Literary reminder: Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on. Siphonaptera by Augustus De Morgan
