Yes... shrimp can kill! Apparently most ghost shrimp are pretty peaceful, but mine grew huge, was shedding her skin every 2 weeks and then started chasing my fish around. Eventually she caught two of the corys and she had to go back to the shop. I hope she gets put in a tank with some really big tough fish!

eel boy - theres 6 x-ray tetras, 6 pentazona barbs, 2 juli corys (the one in the photo and one tiny one... i had to buy him a friend after the others were eaten and the lfs only had baby ones!) and puff. It seems a bit crowded in some of the photos, but they tend to all shoal together... theres loads of space around them!

tekknocolour - the surviving corys are julii's, not sure what the other two were

amber C - hes a South American puffer, colomesus asellus (?)

Thanks for all your encouraging comments everyone!

Cant see how a shrimp would go about killing a fish, they're mouths are so tiny you'd think the fish would just swim off. My amanos arent very big and are in a quarantine tank, they seem harmless.

She was a ghost shrimp, not an amano and was about 3 inches long. She would chase after them and nip their fins, eventually she got lucky and caught them. She held them with one set of pincers and nibbled away with her others. She got them both at night, when presumably they couldnt see her so well. I caught one whilst it was still alive first thing in the morning, but she had eaten all its mouth bits and it died two days later in the hospital tank I dont think its that common, I think she was just an evil ***** shrimp!

Yer my shrimp has killed one of my cories so I moved all the small corys away from the evil trio However I left my large Cories....do you reckon that they will be safe??
