Picasso and Niger Trigger with shrimp

hrdneglcry · Oct 23, 2022

I have two reef tanks set up and a 40 breeder. Due to some problems with fish fighting I had to move my Niger in with a cleaner shrimp. The picasso too but I could have temoved him if I could have caught him. This mornining there were just the antennas of a shrimp on a rock. I thought a good possibilty he got eaten. I saw some other antennas nearby which made me think maybe he molted. Not sure yet. Haven't seen him. Was hoping the Picasso would be ok. Not sure which one did it. Was a good shrimp. Liked it. Would jump on my Blue Jaw triggers fave and clean him. And clean my Flame Angel. I saw some got away with a small picasso and a cleaner shrimp. Other no.

My Niger is in with a cleaner and blood red shrimp and no issues
In my experience, Picasso, humu and bursa triggers and shrimp will not end well
