Snail Attempts To Eat Bamboo Shrimp

[dizzied]

Or something like that.

I was checking my tank when I saw a baby ramshorn was actually crawling around on a bamboo shrimp's tail. It actually looked pretty funny. I tried to pick it off, but the shrimp just jetted away.

Anyone else experience this?

Just the other day, I saw a baby MTS on top of a "mystery shrimp" I picked up (still too small to see if it's a Macro or one of those "evil shrimp" prawns).

I've heard of rams horn snails eating weak triops alive, and apple snails.

Ramshorns sound pretty nasty .

I never really meant that the snail was actually eating the shrimp - mine always end up crawling into/onto weird places. It's the first time I've seen them on another living thing though. I did pick it off the shrimp about ten minutes after the original post. It takes them awhile before they realize I'm not trying to eat them.
