Helan Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 My amano shrimp would sometimes pick my corys body like it is eating something,the Cory is ok with it for a while but will suddenly after a while dart off, all corys are healthy from what I can see, why is it doing this?, should I be worried?

Flumpweesel Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That sounds super cool, might be a handy grooming thing for the cory like remoras and sharks but way cuter. Hope so anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi @Helan. Just wondering if you had any update on how your amano/cory interaction is going? I recently had to separate a 2" amano female from a school of 1/2" kubotai rasboras because she was hunting and eating them. Our other amano, a 1" male, seems to have taken up the chase, but he hasn't caught one yet. Hoping to catch him before he does. All this time I was worried about finding tank mates who wouldn't bother the shrimp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking,things are much better now just a bit of food competition,I suspect it was just curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Thanks, @Helan. Very good to know. Still keeping an eye on my one male Amano and counting my smaller fish. I haven't seen him chasing the rasboras lately, but he seemed pretty eager before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My shrimps were like that too up until like 2 weeks of being in the tank,then they were much more well behaved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
