So there are a bunch of posts on line asking if a pistol shrimp can kill fish and I was willing to let one random fish death go, but today I am convinced that my PS is a serial killer and from this point forward will be known as Jeffrey. My tank has been running for 8 months now and things are going pretty well, I am fairly lightly stocked and my PS has been in the tank for about 6 of those 8 months. Up until today I have had only one random fish death (Benggai Cardinal) who was happy and healthy until overnight was simply dead, no sign of disease or damage, just laying on the floor in the area of my tank we call "Oakland" because of all the shots fired by the PS. This morning, my biggest fish (Coral beauty) who has been with us since just before the PS was dead on the sand in the same neighborhood, again no signs of anything wrong (other than being dead), it was eating and looked perfectly healthy yesterday and everyone else in the tank is just fine.
I am in process of setting up my next, bigger, tank. But I am now seriously considering if I should transfer him to the new set up or find him an alternative home.
Thoughts?
