Banded pipefish and shrimps

[HytRed]

Hi everyone!

I bought two banded pipefishes a week ago. Today I looked into my tank and was shocked. Pipefish was hunting at my lysmata shrimps and hitting sometimes it. has anyone had thia experience? should I kick the pipefishes off? I'm afraid they'll kill the shrimps

Are the pipefish well fed? They need to eat several times per day, and there should also be copepods in the tank for them to munch on during the day.

I hope so. This tank is running since 2022 on. I guess there is a lot of zooplankton. Synchiropus splendidus is really fat but I don't feed it personally
