Re: [GSAS-Member] Spontaneous Fry Generating tank?!

[Linda Knapp <linda@bozuk.org>]

I'm thinking they where eating the fry. It was a very small tank and  
even with lots of moss they probably would not be safe from hungry  
parents.
In the tank they are in now (the adults) I am worried that the Cherry  
Shrimp might eat fry. There is a ton of moss in there now also but no  
sign of anything yet. I have seen what I believe to be egg laying  
activity.
