My blue tiger striped Cherry Shrimp has eggs. pls help :)

Post by arny »

Hello everyone

This is my first post, I'm hoping youll be able to answer some questions I have.

My blue tiger striped female cherry shrimp has eggs on her belly, will she lay the eggs somewhere or will the hatch on her?

How long do they take to hatch?

I have her (2cm), a yellow shrimp (1cm), a red n white shrimp (1cm) and a black n white shrimp (5mm) all in a guppy breading net to keep them away from my fish. Will she or the other shrimp eat the babies when they hatch?

Thx guys for any help :D

Hello arny. Welcome to the forum. Good news on your shrimp being berried. I would suggest you read the Articles in the link above. It should answer your questions. Fish and shrimp do not mix. Major problem and major disappointment.

Most of the eggs have disappeared but I see no babies :( should I be able to see babies crawling around? I have the shrimp in a floating guppy breeder box.

Yes if the eggs hatched and you have the mom in a breeder box you should see them.

Unless they died, of course, which happens a lot if the tank is not "perfect."

Shes completely empty and I can see the small brown eggs on the floor of the box. I guess they died :(
