Moving berried females

Post by YourMorningGlory »

Can I move my females that have berried their eggs to another tank without doing any harm to them or the eggs?

Red Cherry's, I set my old 10 gallon up for the new born to be raised in but the females berried their eggs before I had a chance. I've tried a shrimp trap but they won't go near it

Doesn't matter, I moved all the shrimp to the 10 gallon and they all seem fine.

I have never really experienced problems with moving. The eggs are fine even after being exposed to air. The shrimp *may* drop their eggs if they don't like the conditions in the new tank, though.

Yeah 6 out of 8 dropped a couple of days after but some have hatched in the last 2 days.
