His guys,
I just picked up a mated pair of Coral Banded shrimp from my LFS, and they were fine when being acclimated in a bucket. After being drip acclimated for a few hours, I released them into my DT tank (80gallon), and they each swam off to a different corner of the tank. When the met in the middle, they just started fighting and going at it. Like full on. I caught the male and took him out, and his large claw is damaged. Is there any way to repair them without aggression. I know that once their partner dies they won't take on another mate, but he's still alive so I'm wondering if it's possible. If not I'll take him back to the LFS. (I watched them for about 10 minutes in the LFS and there was no aggression between them).
