@#$%^!!!

Returned from visit to LFS this afternoon with a pair of beautiful Camelback shrimp (Rhynchocinetas durbanensis) - actually pretty good sized ones.

All this talk of shrimp on forum lately must have motivated me to get them. :-/








When dropping into tank, one landed in large toadstool which I thought might make a very good picture.

While doing so, I saw a flash of black and orange on other side of tank and the other shrimp disappearing into hole in rock, in mouth of SnowFlake eel....:-[





Really surprised me as this was quite a large shrimp and a not very big eel.




Would really be happy not to have this guy in tank.

Probably also reason I have not seen my peppermint shrimp for while. :-[

 

Ouch, that sucks! Kind of funny the way you told the story though, but not funny to see money gobbled up so haphazardly like that. Karma!

 

Man that sucks! Sorry for the loss.

 

oi not fun. But I have heard Camel shrimp are coral eaters. So it might have been a good little snack

Does not look like we are going to have chance to find out...:-[

Expect other will not be around much longer.

(looks like I just bought some rather expensive eel food)

Funny, eel has never shown any interest in fire/blood shrimps or skunk cleaner...:-/

 

Doe's mr. eel get lemmon with that ?
Thats exacty why i wont try eels/predatory type fish.
Seems as they grow, their appitite changes .

Thats got to hurt scott, thats one expensive eel .

 

Man you sure do feed the expensive stuff...

 

That sucks. Your eel is very nice looking though.

 

yeah i've seen some tear off into some xenia and zoa's before so that eel may have saved you money in the long run

still sucks for your loss i can only imagine what my reaction would've been
