Would Yamato shrimps prey on CRS?

[nooovva]

Hi, has anyone witnessed Yamatos eating CRS?

[Panut]

I've only witnessed mine eating my plants

Not really, unless CRS is already dead. But Yamatos will bully CRS.

i lost 2 already. Will be staking out my tank tonight to see what happens when the lights go off

Most likely stressed due to presence of yamatos.

I wouldn't put yamatos in a shrimp tank or with small fish. Depending on your luck they might be peaceful but most of the time they bully or even attack small fish and shrimp. Better leave them out and leave the algae to the crs and otos.

they're probaly out competing them for food. i doubt they would go and attack them. bully maybe, but not kill

From my experience, they never attack other shrimps however they do eat snail eggs.
