Mollies and shrimp

[Ric B]

Do Mollies kill/eat shrimp?

I dated a girl named Molly and she ruined the shrimp buffet!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

So how did she ruin it? Did she go for the Navy SEAL?

Recently bought two Amano shrimp. Both are dead. I am debating to dispose of a Molly that has grown too big for the tank. The Molly is too aggressive for the rest of my fisn.

I would attempt to give away/rehome the molly. Looks nice and healthy from the picture, and it would be a shame to dispose of a healthy, living fish.

If that's what you meant by dispose, then that is certainly a plan.

Another option would be to get more mollies to curb any mild aggression, but that doesn't seem like a viable option for you in a smaller tank.

My mollies never messed with my shrimp

Did the shrimp look chewed up, or was it something else? How did you acclimate the shrimp, and how long were they in your tank?

I have 2 Dalmatian Mollies and only once in the first week I got them that they ate one of my Bloody Mary Shrimps.  After that week, the Mollies ignores my 2 remaining Bloody Mary Shrimps plus my 10 Amano Shrimps of various sizes.  Then again I don't trust those 2 Mollies much, hehe.
