🙂 I think you are quite right, Bartian, – its not really agression. The shrimp also, if really threathened would likely not stay like that, – it could have fled very easily. Wouldnt it do that if threathened on its life ?
I have kept those red cherry shrimps (they are smaller than this amano-shrimp) with paros many times, and the result is always that the grown up shrimps stay there but they do not multiply, so no small shrimps are growing up.
But that the paro is going for the eggs is obvious and maybe living in sparse environment makes precisely egg-steeling a very good supply of food ?
