Hi,
I've kept shrimp for years, but just recently gotten interested in cherry shrimp, and I'm trying to breed them. I hope I have attached a picture of one of mine, does she have eggs, if not how can I tell if she is carrying?

Your help is appreciated.
thanks,
Eggs or No eggs

Hi Redbridge and welcome. 
I'm afraid your link doesn't work for me.
If you look in the Shrimp Varieties page for Red Cherry shrimp, the first picture shows a female carrying eggs.
Also, I did a thread on Red Cherries a while ago that might have info and comments that could hopefully be somewhat informative: viewtopic.php?t=848 The first pic shows the yellow ovaries of a very young shrimp, which is sometimes called the "yellow saddle." The fourth pic shows a Cherry with eggs. A little later in the thread, there's a bit of info and pic on their mating behavior.
