Dwarf shrimp with fish eggs?

[Aquarium guy person]

Hi, I just need some help with this as many sources I have read contradict each other. Would blue velvet shrimp eat my Apistogramma eggs? I’m not worried about the shrimp as I want to breed them to feed some to my apistos. But if some were to make their own colony in there, would they eat their eggs?

Shrimp are scavengers so yes, I would think that they would.

I hope so for their sake.

Fish eggs are eaten by everything including shrimp, snails, fish, gammarids and anything that is bigger than the eggs.

Shrimp will eat anything small enough and that they can catch, including fish fry and fish eggs.

Fish will eat shrimp larvae and shrimp eggs.
