Rachael Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hi, I have just spotted that one of my shrimp is covered in eggs, the tank is cold water. Complete beginner, what do I do? I have attached a couple of photos and a video. Any advice would be greatly received. Thanks VID_20200412_200552.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SudhirR Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 This appears to be a saddle that’s eggs that are developing. Once fertilised the shrimps will carry the eggs in the saddle that is formed among the swimmerets. This is an Amano shrimp and that means that the hatched larva stage needs brackish water to survive and they undergo metamorphosis to get to be freshwater shrimp. Raising Amano shrimp larvae could be tedious and demanding procedure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
