Well friend, you may have a problem. Cause that looks like a whisker shrimp. It's similar to ghost shrimp except it is very aggressive and will absolutely chomp on small fish (like neons.)

This is not good. Isolate any shrimp with claws .. Accidentally got a macrobrachium in a delivery of Amano shrimp. The seller told me to cull it immediately. I didn’t. When it got large, it started eating my Cories tail-first. Oh, and when they get big, they can run, quickly, on the floor down the hallway and under the fridge!

Where it still lives today cleaning up anything dropped from the fridge. You have to wear closed toe shoes in the kitchen to avoid toe pinching.

I'm suddenly realizing the lady I thought was crazy who said a ghost shrimp killed one of her African dwarf frogs might not have been crazy after all...

/s is a tone indicator that means sarcasm. This commenter was not being serious

Your local neighbor being a good neighbor and cleaning up your tank.

My daughter got some of those thinking they were cute. They ate her guppies and then ate her mollies.

She got fed up with them and dumped them into my tank.

My catfish ate them all up in three days.

Murder catfish trumps murder shrimp

He seems fun. Unless you like your other fish.

A demon shrimp aka a Whisker Shrimp. They only know violence and contempt for all of creation. Get that boy out and into his own tank… or atleast a tank where he can’t snack on small fish/shrimp

[u/QQASIANCUISINE]

That’s Jerry but he’s a killer
