| thats sounds like a territorial rather than compability issue. how big is the tank? do you have a fish acclimator? that can help. i have skunk. fire. and 4 peppermint living in the same tank. |

I have peps and Fireshrimp all living together in harmony and love. Maybe your's needs some time out? Ground him to his room? IMO murder is murder and he may need to go to shrimp jail! ------------- None at the moment Soon: 72 Gallon Bowfront |

It's the tank and the food supply and a few other variables. If you can post a pic and tell us about the feedings, filtration and the Alk and Ca levels, we can help you figure out what's going on.
