Hey my shrimp had babies about 5 that i spotted, its all ok but im just wondering how i know when a female is goign to lay eggs.

I looked closely at one and i saw what appeard to be maybe 25 small green eggs in its belly, so im wondering if shes going for another tour or not can anyone shed some light?

From what i heave read, they are ghost shrimp. Mine had eggs too, and a bunch of little shrimp were hovering all over the place, but only one survivor.

Congrats! What type of shrimp do you have? I have RCS constantly having eggs and babies. I also have an amano shrimp with eggs, but they will not thrive, since the babies need brackish water to survive.

Here's a pic of my RCS....

My shrimp have never laid any eggs, must be my local water. What's worse is that one of my shrimp managed to get out of the tank. Poor thing. I found it all shrivelled up.
