Do you have a scientific name? some shrimps are predatory if they get the chance; they tend to be omnivours, depending on what sort of shrimp it is, is whether your fish are in danger. Please remember it's the shrimps nature to eat more or less anything and not it's fault it was put in a tank stocked with its food and decided to eat some. If you are worried about your fish return it to the lfs and warn them that it killed your fish; I understand that you are angry with it but killing it for something thats not its fault is just wrong.

i know that i shouldnt killit i was just upset at the time....... i mived him to the 55 gallon with much larger fish in it..... lets hope he doesnt want them for lunch either....so far he is fine not bothering anyone. i dont knwo the scientific name sorry i cant even find anything on the net about the common name. so i will hope for the best for it in hte big tanka nd if he kills another fish i will get rid of him
