Hey everyone. Im thinking about doing some tank shifting but not sure if its a good idea. I have all of my baby mystery snails in with my guppy, platy and molly fry. Im thinking of moving the fry into the adult tank with a divider up to keep the fry safe. That would leave just the baby mystery snails in that tank and the adults. Then I have a tank with 6 ghost shrimp and 5 neon tetras so I was thinking of moving the ghost shrimp and neon tetras in with the baby mystery snails. Will the ghost shrimp eat the baby snails though? I know the adult mystery snails will be fine with the ghost shrimp but its the babies Im worried about. Ive seen them eating a small pond type snail that came in off one of my plants. Im not sure if it was dead already and since Im so over run with them I just let the shrimp have at it. I dont want to let the shrimp have the mystery snails though. What do you all think? Thanks.
 
I don't think they will eat the baby snails, I have ghost shrimp and two different tanks that have baby snails and they don't bother them... (I wish they did though)
