i have a coral banded shrimp for trade, not looking for anything in specific. he is suspected for attacking a fish :thumbs_down:. we've never seen him do this but can't imagine what else would have torn our firefish's fins up. i've read these aren't always safe for other fishes so we just want to play it safe and get rid of him. would recommend he go to a home without any fish to worry about just in case. he does have some kind of a bump on him, not sure what it is but he has had it since we bought him months ago, although this hasn't affected his health in anyway apparent. i'll try to get a pic of him.

I don't have proof but I suspect my old coral banded shrimp was involved in a couple of fish disappearances. He's not yet been charged, but is a creature of interest.
:D

Coral banded shrimp are like all other critters of the sea. They are scavengers and always get the bad rap. Yes they are opportunistic and people seem to suspect the shrimp because it seems to be always caught with the carcass. Just cause they have the biggest claws and always have them in the pudding. Poor shrimp!!! They cant catch a break anywhere.

Haha!
Well, there was no physical proof of the crime, so as the law of the land dictates, he is innocent until proven guilty :bigsmile:
