Shrimp, it's what's for dinner

[YHSublime]

Came out yesterday morning to check on the tank, and found my Peppermint Shrimp halfed, head and what legs were left frantically blowing from my MP40. Obviously dead, but so mysterious. I wonder what he was after? I have a cover over it for the nems who have yet to budge.

 

Coincidentally, the night before, I placed an order for 10 peppermints. Maybe he knew?

 

It's a shame, as he was one of my favorite characters in the tank, and has been with me since the beginning, which isn't that long ago, but he had really grown fat. I'm sure my CUC could have handled it, but I threw the top half away, I've been feeding heavy this week, and didn't want to foul up the tank any more, tonight is due for a water change anyways.

 

Speaking of feeding heavy, tried blackworms yesterday. My fish didn't touch them. Then I put pellets in, and they went nuts. They also go nuts for Jans. My nems enjoyed the black worms with a ferocity I've never seen before, so not a total waste I suppose.

No biggie, 10 more coming tonight, he was just fat and sneaky. I never saw him on that side of the tank, let alone up on the glass!

Well on a good note, it means he won't be there to kill the 10 newbies...I had to stop adding peps since my large one took a liking to the new little ones brains.. Thought I had a zombie shrimp in my tank...come to find out just cannabalistic,lol
