So I have a tank with a fire shrimp in it and for some reason my female clownfish has tarted to randomly attack it. Started last night and hasn't left it alone since, I don't know why the shrimp has been in there nearly 6 months fine.
I have a second tank that I can move it I to but that tank has a pair of cleaner shrimp in it, will they be able to live together or will they fight.
I need to do something because I think the clown will kill it if I don't move it, the shrimp is currently at the top of my tank behind a Powerhead, I think it's the only place the clownfish can't actually get to it.
Any help please
