I didn't know that they were fond of eating $20.00 cleaner shrimp. I guess that means that my blood shrimp are in danger too.

I already found out the pistol shrimp ate cleaner shrimp the hard way. It didnt kill the shrimp tthat were already in the tank but any new shrimp or crabs it went after until they were dead.

That is bad ***! I had no idea that they were that cool..... And here I thought that Mantis shrimp were a perfect killing machine. Pistol shrimp are almost as cool
