Molly fry and ghost shrimp??

[Fishguy17]

Hey guys well I have a molly that is due in a few days and I have separated her but the smaller tank she is in also has my 3 ghost shrimp. I was wondering if the shrimp would eat the fry. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.

I don't know but I think they would. I don't see why they wouldn't. There are these things that hang on the side of the tank that are like a box that is screened in. Use that until they get at least a half inch. How big are the shrimp?

Well, there are several species of shrimp that are sold as "ghost shrimp." But generally speaking, it should not be an issue. I had ghosties with guppy fry and never had an issue.
