Mine became quite aggressive. Snatching at the fish and grabbing at my shrimp. I chose the shrimp over the crab! I don't think he could catch any large fish but worried about the little guys getting to close. I also read that the males (which mine was) are more agressive whereas females likely never become fish-hungry.

Carmen, how can you tell if they're boy or girl?

If you google it you can see pics but if you get a look underside at their belly if there's a V-shape it's a boy. Rounded is girl (I think) . Easiest to see if you have a molt! Or if he/she is crawling up along the glass belly to the glass.

Thanks. I think we have a boy! I'm thinking Red Sea bound he is.
