I believe Theo was referring to the adult shiners & FHM eating the fry.
I would think you would have to periodically release many adults that refused to leave because of the easy meals & an over crowded cage could very possibly cause the cannibalism Theo was referring to. Not to mention poor spawning conditions.
I feed my FHM so I know they take fish food.

I would keep a careful eye to be sure other fish fry didn't enter the cages & grow up to have a feast.

Ewest�s idea sounds much more practical.
