looking for some advice please. i have 4 1 cm fry and 4 3-4m fry in a heavily planted 40ltr tank. the tank also has 2 platys in it and two cheery shrimp.

my friend is getting rid of his tropical fish, of which he has 3 shrimp, 2 ghost (we think) (1 amano). one is about an inch and the other two are 2 inches and growing.

he think two shrimp have claws and one has fluffy hands spending most of its time on the filter.

will these pose a threat to my fry?

some people say no, others say yes they will go for them if they can catch them.

i would really like the shrimp but if they pose any danger i won't bother.

cheers
Jonathan
