Reply With QuoteYah, those shrimps are vicious. Happened to Peterchua's rasbora I think. Remove it if you want to keep the rest of your fishes. Not sure what species you have, but ghosts shrimps are one commonly used as feeders. I suspect some are forest shrimp.

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
they cannot attack healthy fish, only those sick and almost gone ones will get attacked, even Malayan and Yamato will do that.
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

If its the clawed ones... i.e. forest shrimp they will attack unwary or sleeping fishes.

you mean you can get forest shrimps (with big pincers, how else can they catch tetras) in feeder packs?

Yes. Someone at Teo's put some feeder shrimp meant for his LH (way back when) in the 9ft tank. We were looking at the tank and I was telling him they were forest shrimp and would eat his yamatos and fishes, at that very moment one of them swam right before our eyes with a yamato in its claws.
He immediately got Ah Hui to net them out.

yes, the forest shrimp has this large pincer should be obvious to anyone they would expect to use it
I never believed the regular ghost shrimp could catch any fish because their pincers are so small.

my yamatos have done that when the fish is weak or going to say bye bye..
yap....u guys were rite about the sick or weak fish part,
they seem to have an uncanny sense of which fish is easy to
target
are fine, normally any 1 fish in a new batch found weak will go
AWOL very fast
many years back. I had 10 yamatoes in my 2 feet. That time my 2 feet was heavily infested with BGA, so I introduced 10 into my 2 feet. These yamatoes cleaned up the tank and, next, turned their attention at my OTOs. I cannot believe it.. They are all over the OTOs..
