like the title says I knew i shouldnt have done it but I tried anyway….

So I put an arrow crab in my tank with my niger trigger. He doesnt care the arrow crab is there… so I picked up a pistol/watchmen pair and the second I let the pistol go my trigger bit the tail off the shrimp!!! I go the shrimp out. He is in my other trigger free tank, I already have a pair there. I put his goby in there too. Will his tail grow back with a molt? None of his arms or legs were damaged and he is moving fine.


Yes yes I know triggers eat shrimp I was in a false sense of security with my arrow and pushed my luck… wont be doing that again.

Couldnt get a pic of the shrimp I was too focused on getting him to safety
