SRC Member Tanzy Posted December 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2003 I think the shrimp is trying to clean the fish. That's natural behavior.

Aspire Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 I know skunk shrimp helps to clean up any dead tissues from fish bodies.. It's juz that lately it seem to behave rather aggressive chasing after fishes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tanzy Posted December 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2003 Maybe it's very hungry or that the fishes are very dirty. Try target feeding it or stick your arm into the tank at it and see if it cleans your hand with the same gusto. Quote Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.

SRC Member Tanzy Posted December 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2003 Then feed it but once it gets hungry it will do the same thing again.
