Ghost Shrimp And A Fiddler Crab Disappeared, Was It The Pictus?

[CytheFish]

I have been reading up in my Pictus here on the board and there have been several referances to the fact that they are Predatory at heart. Think A single Pictus could go through 10 Ghost shrimp and a fiddler crab in a span of a few months?

And...

If he is the culprit, should I continue to sacrifice a few .05 cent ghost shrimp just to keep his diet "well rounded"?

Pictus ARE predatory catfish, I think he now loves you very much for providing him with exellent meals and would like you to carry on

If you dont mind your shrimp going to be piscine cuisine then thats good, we feed ghost shrimp to our marine fish and they love it.

The crab probably died of inflicted natural causes, they are brackish dwelling animals and being kept in a freshwater aquarium would have slowly killed it.
The shrimp would have been snacks of the highest quality, a single pictus could eat 10 in a night let alone in a few months.

If the ghost shrimp were small enough for the pictus to eat them then that's probably what happened. They are definately a predatory catfish. Mine has eaten guppies before.
