What are your current tank parameters? Nitrate, Nitrite, Salinity, tmp etc....

Do you know what species of pistol shrimp you have? Can you get a good picture of it?

If your fish started dieing shortly after adding it I would say that it would be a fair assumption that it could be the cause of the missing fish.

If the tank params check out you could try removing the shrimp to quarantine and see if any more fish dissappear.

all my levels are good with the exception of the nitrate because of the loss of some many fish but yeah i took him out today with the hopes that the KILLING will stop :( as far as what kind of pistol shrimp i think its might be a just a common pistil it had a bit of purple on its claws and a big black spot on his belly on both sides but i am keeping my fingers crossed that he was the killer and the killing will stiop
