Sexy Shrimps

[hellee66]

Hi guys,
Think i may already know the answer to this question and probably may need Macca to answer, but here goes, i had 7 sexys, i'm now down to 2, i also have a pair of pistol shrimps are these the culprits for my sexys disappearing ?
Thanks

FIVE!!! oops sorry thought this was a maths exam. would think that was the most likely culprit, must admit to being a bit nervous about having cleaners and a pistol in my tank.

Lol clown. There sexys not cleaners have 2 cleaners and there fine, might be their turn next !!!! The decision now is do i get rid of the goby and pistol shrimps, mmmm :hmmthink:

What fish do you have?

[hellee66]

A firefish and and small yellow goby, and a wheelers goby that looks after the shrimp, don't think its any of those.

Looks like the pistols are guilty then! The thing with sexys are they are so small and the pistols would be able to take them out quite easily i would have thought. I think Macca says fully grown/large cleaners should be safe.

yep, my pistol will have the occasional pop at the cleaners, but they are quite big and i try to target feed, so hopefully will leave them alone.

Thanks guys.
Bad pistols !!! I do target feed them with pellets and they do come out for them, but they must find them a bit boring and fancied some shrimp, hopefully the 2 i've got left manage to keep out of thier way. I won't buy anymore, although i like the sexys, but i find the pistols good to watch and everybody comments on them.
