Guppy fry + ghost shrimp?

Cichlidsrule · 04-02-2007, 10:42 AM

I have a large ghost shrimp almost 1 inch long that I want to put in a tank with four three-month-old guppy fry....but I'm worried the shrimp will eat the fry. Does that usually happen, and if so, is there something you can use to prevent it?

i'm not sure about three month old fry, but i have had them eat new-born to 1 month old fry. i saw my shrimp grab the baby and start to eat it. good luck with them.

I bet it would be fine, but I don't really see how the shrimp could catch the fry.
