Apisto ate dead CRS. Should I be concerned?

[kota]

Hi all!

New to the forum and i love all the info everyone provides so thank you!

I had a CRS die earlier today and I witnessed the apisto eat it up. So my question is should I be concerned if the shrimp died of a disease and it affects my apisto? The shrimp didn’t look out of ordinary but i just want to know others thoughts on this.

BTW here’s a pic of my BIG BOI

I would not be too worried about it, but but might be a good idea to keep a eye on him just to make sure. And welcome to the sight.

Shrimp diseases are not fish diseases, it's very unlikely the fish contracted anything from it. No need to worry.

Hi all,

I found that A. cacatuoides is an avid shrimp hunter and I would be worried for your Cherry shrimp with any large mouthed Apistogramma sp. like A. macmasteri, A. baenschi etc.
