Introducing cherry shrimp to a stocked tank?

[OhNo123]

Would red ramshorn snails eat my cherry shrimp? My friend's swordtail fry ( about 15 ) were all eaten by his red ramshorn. Im afraid that might happen to my shrimp!

All seemed ok. I even saw one of the "microscopic" minis this morning. He is smaller than a brine. The ones I could find this morning have already popped out their color so hopefully things will be ok and everyone else has found refuge in either a plant or the cave.

i would turn the lights off..... so its hard for them to see them.

I tried that to minimize the chances of my molly fry getting eaten as I didn't want to net 'em out 'till morning.

As soon as the lights went out, the Angel had a run at them - big splash! (so, I guess I'm saying lights out may work, it may not).

Not unless they die first. Also, it's more likely that your friend's fry passed first.
