My 10 gallon tank houses one very old White Cloud Mountain Minnow, one Harlequin Rasbora, and 30-40 red cherry shrimp. Tonight I was going by the tank and noticed something sticking out of the white cloud. He was wolfing down one of my shrimp!!! I have had him in this tank with shrimp for over 3 years and this is the first time I've seen a shrimp get eaten. I was completely floored.
First: how did he catch it? He's pushing 5 years old! He must have had a lucky snatch at an unsuspecting shrimp just swimming by. Unless he found an equally ancient shrimp - or a dead one... hm...
Second: How did the shrimp fit in his tiny little white cloud mouth? They're not exactly big fish.
I just had to share. It was so weird!

I have *cough* had some downright horrifyingly gross situations with fish eating dead fish. I think I'll leave it at that though unless you want to know more.
