Hey inuyasha_lover_21 thanks for the chart, thats pretty neat. Never seen that before

Gargoyle

My Swords eat the shrimp...

wolfman21

How big are your swordtails?

Gargoyle

The one that eats them the most is about 2 inches...

wolfman21

Your gjost shrimp must be pretty small, or that swordtail has a big mouth.

Gargoyle

Nope regular Ghosties and regular sword tail.... Do you find this difficult to believe or something ??

wolfman21

Just never heard of a swordtail eating a ghost shrimp. Thought they were too small to eat a ghost shrimp. Guess you learn something new every day, right?

Gargoyle

Well he would pick at the poor ghosties relentlessly until he broke through their shell or they molted. Then it was diner time...

He has been removed from the tank with the ghosties because he started going after the snail as well.. Biting and tugging at his feelers.. I think it is just and overly mean sword that I have.
