Beware of ghost shrimps they are deadly! I woke up today to see it surfing on my female guppy! The guppy is still alive in a breeding trap she has only a little bit of tail fin left but she is swimming freely. The shrimp is now in by big tank with the big guys, he wont cause more troubles.

A video will be up later.
 
ironic the fish food eats eachother lol

to bad about that guppy...

haha.

Guppys are snacks to my fish. Need large goldfish for mine!

Sorry to hear about your guppy though.
 
Lol that sucks! Were you keeping them together for long? Or just somewhere to pu the feeders?
 
There is no way in hell that shrimpkilled that guppy! I suspect the fish died/was dieing of other causes (sounds like fin rot causte you siad half its tail was missing) and the shrimp was just doing it what it does naturally...scavenge for food!
 
no I saw it attack it, it was swimming along fine and he was stalking it, he satayed in a 'net blind spot' so all I could do was whatch, do you think its some sort of killer mutant shrimp? I put him in as a cleaner upper and an interesting addition to my community tank but left as a murderer :( He has been in for about a week. The guppy is still alive! I hope he recovers.... fins do heal right? She is on her side still breathing and trying to swim around she is eating but you have to put food rigt infront of her.
