I usually keep a bunch of Ghost shrimp in with Pickle, and she eats a few of them she spots them and catches them, but they are REALLY good at hiding. Well I took out all the river rock cause it was trapping a lot of junk and all the ghost shrimp I put in were sitting on the ground. I thought they would go hide in the plastic plants but they didn't. She was chasing them but couldn't catch them. I left for a couple hours and when I came back there were only two left that I could see. She must have eaten 8-10 of them, a couple of them were even full of eggs! She's skipping dinner tomorrow!
