six-line wrasse ate my sexy shrimps

[hamannbmw]

Hi,

I have my 5 ###### shrimps for about 3 weeks now, everything seems fine but only today i saw 1 ###### shrimps inside the mouth of my wrasse ......, the wrasse is about 1 1/2 inches , and is well fed......

Anyone had the same experience ?? Maybe i should try to spear that idiot......

Wrasses eat small crustaceans one w0t....

argh.... i ask the guy from reputable farm and he told me its ok............

Maybe he thought your shrimps were bigger. Any invert that can fit into the mouth of another fish should not be risked..unless you are confident in the behaviour of the fish.

Maybe it's better to just remove your wrasse first cause eventually when it grow bigger it'll still eat up the rest of your shrimps...

Saw some ###### shrimp at LCK110 last weekend. Dont know how much its going for though.

Last time I bought them was at $5 per shrimp but quite small one.

No one can be certain... Just like my Lion have been living together with my small scooter blennies and mandarin goby (all about 1 inch).. also with some even smaller shrimps.. I have one feeder molly that have been in my tank for a month now.. the lion never even bother to chase it..

someone even said his angler tank have camel shrimps in there and none are eaten..

mybe you sould buy another tank or have asmaller tank

[Asfur]

Six lines wrasses is a pygmy wrasses and rarely go more than 5-6 cm long in the tank, so i think your six line wrasses eat your ###### shrimp when the shrimp are molt, because at that time the shrimp will be vulnerable by attacking with other member, even boxing shrimp will vulnerable too.

i have rescape my tank and catch the fellow... given to one of the reefer liao........
