I found a red cherry shrimp on java moss in my aquarium. She is berried. While moving through the java moss I saw she became hung up on the moss. The eggs were caught. In her attempt to free herself, she was kicking and the eggs were pulled loose from underneath of her. They are still attached at a point on her body, but are being dragged behind her. Has anyone ever witnessed this before? Is there any way to help her?

There is really nothing you can do. You'll just have to wait and see if the eggs keep hanging on or if they get lost and perish. She'll get eggs again soon enough.

Thanks Mustafa. That's pretty much what I thought, but thought I would ask. Later, only about half of the eggs were there. I'm not sure what has happened to them now. I haven't seen them today. Thanks for your response.
