So last night I get home late to find my Neon Dottyback dying with a large gash on his side. I’m trying to figure out what could have possibly caused this and the only thing I could think of is he went into my pistol shrimps burrow and was attacked. Everything I read is that pistol shrimp will usually not kill other fish so I’m a bit confused.
My setup is a waterbox 35.2 AIO that is a little over 2 months old, only live stock is a porcelain crab, wheelers shrimp goby, red pistol shrimp and a small clean up crew consisting of a few snails and 3 small hermits
Has anyone experienced anything like this with a pistol shrimp? I’m hesitant to add anymore live stock until I know they won’t be murdered.
