Pistol shrimp murdering

[Vanlife-reefer]

So I have that pistol shrimp.

It killed first goby I brought.

Now it killed cleaner shrimp. (The cleaner shrimp twice swam into the power head and I managed just in time to turn it off but I was seriously weakened recently)


Should I get rid of this pistol shrimp and get another one to prevent all the future killings?

My friend has a much bigger tank with bigger fish so it would have no chance there.


Is that killing attitude like specimen specific?

What type is it? It might not be a pistol shrimp that can pair. Either way i would get rid of it or put it in the sump.

It is tiger pistol shrimp. It has paired with the goby I asked about earlier and you IDied it.

Is there any option to get one that doesn’t kill?

You can either try another tiger or get a different one like a candy cane.

Are they milder in temper?

Are they milder in temper?

Yes. They are also smaller so they wont be able to kill other tank mates.
