    Default LOL... Shrimp steals Betta's food

    I saw one of my ghost shrimp swimming up the front of the glass a few mins ago, so I snapped a pic... and it proceeds to swim right to the surface, grab one of my Betta's pellets, and sink back down to rest on a leaf and eat it! Lol! These guys are too funny. I thought my betta was going to pester the shrimp but it's been the other way around so far.

    Going up...



    Almost there...



    Gotcha!



    Delicious!

    My amanos steal food from the other shrimp, but not from my betta, so far...
    Dwarf cichlids = more personality per inch than just about any other fish (maybe even animal) that you'll ever have as a pet

    Brave shrimp that is.
    You got some pretty good picture skills to capture the shrimp in action.
