Stupid Housefly ...

A housefly fell into my tank (120g) and one of the cleaner shrimp is acting like he hit the "Jackpot"....

The shrimp made off with the fly like it was heaven sent.....practically leaving skid-marks.

When something like this happens should one let things be?

Just curious ..... because even if I wanted to take the fly out of the tank the shrimp (and fly) are nowhere to be seen (or paged)! ;D

 

Let things be...it's nothing but protein after all.

 

That's funny. My cleaner is a glutton as well! Good treat for him.

 

Thats what they do in the wild.

 

I had a similar experience

hi ,
I was feeding the fish I guess the myosis shrimp was making this fly hungry and he buzzed the water and wham the killer red clown grabed him an took him to the dreaded off limits corner, to share with his pal.
I wish those clown fish would leave me alone I was cleaning the marineland filter today and they were waiting for me in the corner they looked like they were going to jump out of the water to bite me.. I think they named the wrong species lion fish those burgandy clown are pretty mean.

maroon clowns are the devil!

 

nice~!lol~!

 

i agree. My Clown attacks me any time my hand touched the water. I never knew fish could bite...

 

Ok so his eyes are glowing red and he lives in a snake looking creature....he's no devil LOL

 

Ha ha...those shrimp are characters. Whenever I put my hand in the tank...rather than cleaning my skin, like they used to do, they try to chew me up!!! hah.
