Skunk Cleaner Shrimp aggresiveness

if you want more shrimp I would try a diffrent species or try a rescape and try again

agreed I hate it when I play creator even on a small scale because I cant do a good job compared to god (has alot more time to devote to the big tank than I do)

 

I think i will stick with the two shrimp and the Narcissus snail in my tank They get along so well and i think it is fine the way it is

The shrimp i returned to the store seemed to like being back in its original tank... As soon as i dropped it in the big tank, it *swam* towards its old spot near the corner.

The poor thing. No more whiskers, lost two of its legs, and half of its fin. And yet it still swam like a boss back to its spot. The owner of the store told me, he will take care of that shrimp and we called it Lucky

In any case, thank you all for your help I appreciated the time you gave me.

 

No problem. You did the right thing.

FWIW, after just a few molts, it'll be good as new.

 

Awesome job taking the time to save him!

 

I had two of these Cleaners together in a my 55 for 10+ months and they always got along, until last weekend when one started attacking the other. I got him out and placed him in my 185 where he died a few hours later.
Both these guys were eating and happy are two shrimp could be until one went rabid... I guess they have their reasons for dong what they do??

I will not be giving this shrimp another partner!

 

Mother Nature is a mystery to me

The shopkeeper called me today, and he said the shrimp did indeed molt and the whiskers are growing back slowly

*does a small dance*

Glad the little guy is doing well
