Whenever I come back to the dorm after an absence of an hour or so I automatically check my fish tanks. Call me paranoid.

So when I checked on my paradise fish tank this evening, I was mortified. My p-fish had these strange "whiskers" growing out of its mouth-area. Diseases raced through my mind. Fungus of some sort? Perhaps an injury? My heart began to race...

Until I noticed that the ghost shrimp I added this afternoon had mysteriously disappeared. All 5 of them. So *that's* why ghost shrimp never seem to last long in my tank! I was sure they were too big for him to eat! Lol.... And here I thought my fish was mutating or something.
 
Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean. All my fish in all 3 tanks do the same thing. They can all inhale the entire shrimp except for his little "whiskers". So they stick out of the fish's mouth and makes him look like he is morphing or something. Shrimp = mmm, mmm, good :laugh:.
