live shrimp from the supermarket

Post by Nas »

I remember i used to buy live shrimp for cooking and i just thought about putting one in my tank with my gsp to see what would happen... I'm just wondering if anyone else has done this before as i am sure i'm not the first person who's thought about this..

They don't sell live shrimp by me, but I'd quarantine the thing first. It will probably be slowly pulled apart and eaten as the GSP catches up with it over time.

But my gsp is only about 1.5'' and the shrimp are at least 2'' some are larger. I doubt i'll actually do it because they do have those sharp things towards the front of them. It would be interesting to see what would happen though..
