	can a bolivian ram eat amano shrimp?
RichyT415 Hobbyist Posts: 118 Kudos: 7 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Jul-2002	Can a Bolivian Ram eat amano shrimp? I just recently added a bolivian ram to my tank and I can't seem to find my shrimps anymore, although sometimes they are a bit hard to find. I always thought B. Rams were too small to be able to munch on an amano shrimp, anyone have any experience?

It's shell, being unhardened, would make it more vulnerable, so some hiding places for it might help in the future. Bolivians have been known to munch on snails from time to time, so why not shrimp?
