So I have a berried Ghost Shrimp and a berried Blue Velvet Shrimp. I just read that the Ghost will eat the Blue Shrimplets. Is that true? If it is will the Chost eat it's own young?
 
After returning home from sons bowling league I went to remove the Ghost Shrimp from my tank and put them in a new one for fear they would eat the baby blues once they hatched. After moving everything around and not finding the prego blue, I noticed she was on top of the filter sponge of my fluval 5. She birthed there! Now I can only see 3 babies and can not get them off the sponge. I hope they don't get stuck inside (or worse)! I am just going to have to try to let them grow to a size where I can grab and move them. I really hope they make it!
