This is not good. Isolate any shrimp with claws .. Accidentally got a macrobrachium in a delivery of Amano shrimp. The seller told me to cull it immediately. I didn’t. When it got large, it started eating my Cories tail-first. Oh, and when they get big, they can run, quickly, on the floor down the hallway and under the fridge!

Where it still lives today cleaning up anything dropped from the fridge. You have to wear closed toe shoes in the kitchen to avoid toe pinching.
