Is a shrimp secondary consumer?

Here's why it's not a simple yes or no:

* Some shrimp are omnivores: They eat both plants and animals, making them primary consumers (eating producers) and secondary consumers (eating other consumers).

* Other shrimp are detritivores: They feed on dead organic matter (like decaying plants and animals), making them decomposers.

* Some shrimp are scavengers: They eat dead animals, making them secondary consumers.

* Some shrimp are carnivorous: They eat other animals, making them secondary consumers or even tertiary consumers if they eat other predators.

To figure out if a specific shrimp species is a secondary consumer, you need to know what it eats.
