	MTS and ghost shrimp questions
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	MTS-can they tolerate salt, as in a brackish tank? Ghost shrimp-do they eat plants? Would there be any chance they could get ahold of and eat guppy or other small fry? Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I've seen them attack sick/dying fish many times. They are opportunists, and if they are large enough, they will most likely catch and eat small fry. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
