GhostShrimp and fry

[aqtaquaman]

Does anyone know if ghost shrimp will eat very small fish fry?

I had no problems with my 2 adult GS with my guppy fry. The shrimp mostly stuck to the live moss and algae that was in the tank. The shrimp will also gladly eat any leftover food you throw in for the fry. So as long as there's a food source for the shrimp, they shouldn't touch a thing.

I witnessed a ghost shrimp devour a molly fry.
Most likely the shrimp won't be able to catch it, but they're opportunistic feeders, so if they do they'll eat it.

Ghost shrimp might grab newborn fry that are resting on the bottom or sleeping fry at night. Otherwise the fry should be okay and the shrimp can clean up a little bit for the extra feedings that the fry are getting.
