Interesting video.

They are predatory feeders and we have seen that they also learned how to find cory eggs and wait and eat them when they hatch. They do seem to stalk and wait when hunting or feeding. Were the shrimp eggs hatching or near to that point?

Everything I’ve been able to find out about them points to live food mostly.

Wonder, would this fish also eat decapsulated brine shrimp eggs?
