Pet's info: Fish | Tropical Fish
Hi, I bought 2 wood shrimp about a week ago and the woman from the pet store has accidentally put a fish fry in the bag with them he made the journey home and is in his own tank, however I’ve never dealt with fry before I have the food for him he seems fine but I don’t know if he will get lonely on his own and if he’s eating enough also is there any way of knowing the breed I think the shrimp were with mollys or guppy’s at the store.thanks.

It should be fine on its own. Once it gets bigger and you can definitively identify it, you can then decide to add tank mates or not. Continue to feed it the fry food. You can also use finely ground flakes or pellets.
