pleco with fry? ghost shrimp pregnant?

[MicropterusSalmoides]

if i put a 3-4inch pleco in with my fry, will he eat them, it will probably be a rubbernose pleco. also petsmart by me has a ton of ghost shrimp right now with what looks like little green circles inside about half of them, are these eggs?

yeah the green balls are eggs.
dont know about the pleco tho.

 

[dovii88]

yeah the green is eggs...but the pleco should be fine

 

[davo]

its a chance with plecos. how mobile are the fry. Plecos are predatory too...

If the fry are a couple weeks old and free swimming the pleco should be OK...no guarantee though.

A mystery snail or an otocinculus would be other choices.
