I caught my golden sailfin pregnant molly in the act of eating one of my orange pumpkin neocaridina.

Oh no! Hopefully it's one that had passed that she scavenged... I have shrimp in a tank with mollies, but they're generally "culls", only a few more brightly coloured, lots of clear and wild type ones, so I wouldn't necessarily notice if the odd one got picked off.
I know mollies will eat anything, greedily and happily, but generally I'd expect a live shrimp to be able to leap away before she could grab one, unless she caught one by luck.

Beautiful molly! Even if she is a naughty girl!
 
I caught her in the middle of the act of cramming The Shrimp into her mouth. I do not know if The Shrimp was dead or alive at the start. I hope it was already deceased.
