Coral Banded Shrimp

Mine and most others hate fish with a passion and WILL give chase. Aside from that they're mostly peaceful and are great scavengers. They can also reside in some tanks that other shrimp wouldn't be able (for instance Eels). In which case mine cleans the face/mouth of my snowflake near daily.

Edit: I would not go as far as to say they "kill" fish, unless of course they are very juvenile/slow/bottom dwelling fish and weak or something.
 
I've been watching my CB over the past few weeks and have noted zero instances of aggression. The smallest and weakest fish I have is a purple fire fish. Before I try to get rid of the CB I want to make sure it is warranted because it is an enjoyable inhabitant and supposedly eats flatworms.
 
Cool.

As mentioned, I've kept them for many years, and have never known them to kill fish.
