    Unfortunately, that's not how shrimps mate.

    This is quite common. Not another attempt to cannibalise each other. Dont worry.

    Oh? I always thought shrimps mate this way?
    The female shrimps have their ovaries at the top. So i always guess this is how the males inseminate the females?
