Coral Banded Shrimp killing fish
 
Just wondering if this is normal? Maybe I am not feeding it enough? What should i feed it?

Cheers

I have had one for over 2 years now, very big... I haven't had any issues. I can't honestly say if they can eat fish, have you caught it in action?

I've had mine for over 5yrs and not a bit of trouble, even with other shrimp.

mine will chase the peppermints... dunno if he actually catches them...
same with the fish. anything touches his antenae and he'll got for it. but never seen him kill anything.

but they're good scavengers, so your fish probably just died from other causes and you spotted him eating the remains

I've seen them grab small fish right out of the water column. These shrimp are pricks. You can try spot feeding him mysis, or pellets, or anything really, they are pigs too.

A few months ago I caught mine holding one of my clowns, He had a good tight grasp unit I grabbed him with my tongs, he then dropped both the clown and his claws...He's been very happy in the sump ever since, the clown is also happy and healthy to this day...
