Sorry to hear it. But that's life in the big pond. I don't think the eel just "decided" to eat the shrimp. He just realized he could.

Not very comforting, but it's just a fact of life.

Years ago I had a Panther Grouper and spotted Hawk in the same tank. The Grouper would eat food bigger than the hawk on a daily basis...2+ years. Then one day.....

Oh, did you have to tell that story? You know how much I love hawks
It is a sad fact though. Be careful of what you keep with predatory fish.

Kidding...I didn't eat the Grouper.
