Scud Shrimp
Would these guys eat eggs or harm small fry in a breeding tank?

Re: Scud Shrimp
Maybe eggs as they scavenge some.

Re: Scud Shrimp
I'm just worried that they might eat the eggs or wigglers at night while the parents are asleep. Does anyone have experice with scuds? I kinda thought they'd make a cool feature to a tank and also work as live food.

Based on the last article I would say they definitely would eat eggs and maybe young fry if given the opportunity. Still a fun organism to keep and breed. Good luck. Jack
