So my sexy shrimp have been spawning on a weekly basis now. I have been working on a setup to rear the fry and have one thats working well. I had the first 2 sets of fry die within 48 hours from a bad setup. This last batch lasted 1 week. Heres where I need help. The first 2 batches that died I could clearly see the dead fry. Mostly ontop of the surface. This last batch did amazing. I didn't lose a single one to surfacing. I could see them eating the live phyto and bbs. I did a water changing twice with water from my main tank. So everything was going fine and I decided to order some pods to feed them as well. I got one of the packs from reefs2go which also has amphipods. A few hours before adding them I could still see fry doing quite well. I added the reefs2go pack at lunch and when I got home that night I couldn't find a single fry. I did see 3 amphipods had made it into there system via the pump. I see no bodies either. Do you think an amphipod would go after live fry? Heres my setup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpE3cP2W7kQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
