    So my wife went out tonight and spent $50 on a group of sexy shrimp. Acclimated them, dumped them in, and watched as our clowns picked every single one of them off before they could even hit rock. Now she wants the whole tank gone :-/

    they usually dive bomb anything that is falling in the tank, maybe try again but be sure to place the shrimp somewhere low and have the lights off when you do this

    sorry for your loss

    Oh, it wasn't just as they fell, a few were hunted down. But all shrimp gone in under three minutes.
