Hi all, I was talking to a sales person at the LFS and she told me that Flying Foxes will eat Algae Eating Shrimp. Is this true? I was kind of hoping to get some kind of invertebrate without having to go with those bigger crayfish like things.

As always, thanks a bunch for everyone's help. You all are great people.

Hi honestly i've discovered that anything large enough to eat your shrimp will do so...So depending on how big that flying fox is it might not at frist but when it gets big enough it will take your shrimp for lunch in between lunch when it feels like it (unless there algae eater themselves) Watch for those crayfish if you get one of the bigger one they can and will eat your fish... sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

You're not a bearer of bad news just a courier of facts, and I appreciate that. Thanks. Here's another question though. Will fish tend to nip at the shrimp until they've killed them, or are we talking about fish big enough to swallow them whole?
