so i take it they didnt live happily ever after
That's how most Macrobrachium species go after food. That's not a real fight, more like 'haggling'.

If you've ever seen two dominant, adult male, shrimp with insufficient territory, you'll find limbs and bits quick enough. While not always fatal, an Alpha male is always established.

But, I've also seen adult females take food from an Alpha.
