Thanks Pete,
This would explain the controversy, Its possible, but not probable. I also think its the first explanation that comes to mind when babies are missing. No one does enough research into cleaning crews and filtration systems etc. I have seen; personally, my peppermint shrimp eat other shrimp as large as they are in minutes. I usually blame them for any fry losses in my tank. I have never viewed a shrimp eating fry, but I see how they scurry from under a rock, and snatch pcs of mysis shrimp that are a lot larger than newborn erectus, at feeding time. The shrimp cannibalism was out of the norm as well. This was right after my cycle, and I didnt have any live stock. You gotta feed cleaners or they will feed themselves. :blush:
