Fire Shrimp vs. Coral Banded Shrimp

[JAG107]

Guy at LFS: "go ahead, fire shrimp will get along fine with your coral banded."
me: "ok, I believe you."
3 days later, coral banded shrimp: "this fire shrimp sure is tasty!":death:
me: :frustrat: I didn't want that $20 anymore, anyway.
Lesson learned: the cheapest $5 animals love the exotic flavour of the expensive ones. Next time I'll do some research before believing the guy looking out for his cash register's best interests.

Sorry to hear about the fire shrimp. We all have made those mistakes of listening to the infamous "LFS advice".

Coral banded shrimp can be vicious. They'll even go after fish. Be careful with it. Sucks about your loss :( Sorry.

You just never know when it comes to wild animals,even shrimps.I had a CBS with a Fire and Skunk Cleaner with no problems for around 5 years.

Hate to hear about your fire shrimp becoming food.
Coralbandeds usually dont play nice with others.
