For the past week I've seen two female shrimps drop their eggs. They were brown in color and I'm not sure if this means if they're fertilized or not. Just wondering if anyone knows what the problem may be that is causing them to drop the eggs?
edit: in addition to them dropping eggs, I've noticed that they drop it on top of the java moss. Do they expect the moss to incubate the eggs or something? or just a coincidence?

I use other tanks (5 or 10 gal) to hold the pregnant shrimps (RCS or CRS). In my experience, water change or add new water can cause this too (especially crs -- they seem to be so picky).
I do water change for these tanks "very slowly". I remove old water and have aged new water "dripped in" (about 1-2 drops a second). So usually water change for 2 gallons can take more than 12 hours or the whole day.
