minipigg Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Today while working on my computer and watching the nano tank next to my system... I saw my cleanr shrimp reach down and pull a bristol worm from the substrate and rip it to shreads.... within less then a minute he had torn it apart and made a meal out of the bristol worm........ wow..... that was unexpected... i didnt think they ate bristol worms.

shift_9k Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I didnt know that either, what else other than parasites off fish do they eat? Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Oh yea. All the ones I ever had ate them. Persoanlly I will NEVER have another shrimp... They are a big time PITA and always steal the food from fish and corals. Got rid of mine months ago. Hard to keep any small fish, cause they never can get to the food in time lol. But then again I feed very little so maybe thats why. Link to comment
