And another question on shrimp.
I have a little Fluval Spec V 19 litres, that I have made into a fry tank as I have moved the WCMM adults into the new tank.
I had a fry cage with fry in before moving the adults over which also had a thriving population of Daphnia. Once the adult were out, I emptied the cage into the Spec which only had 3 not fully grown Amano shrimp and 3 young Blue dream shrimp plus a pond snail left in. For the rest of the day I could see all fry and daphnia. The next morning when I put the lights on all the daphnia had disappeared and 90% were too big for the fry to eat. I wondered about this but then a week later as of last night I noticed some new fry visible in the tank and this morning I cannot see any than the original group. I know they may not all survive but now I have my suspicions about the shrimp. Are they the guilty party?
