	ghost shrimp with eggs?
jefferysgirl Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 91 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I just noticed a shrimp with lots of little green ball looking thinks stuck to her legs. it's a very large ghost shrim p so i can see the green things easily. I watched for about 30 minutes. i think they are eggs because she cleans them and fans her legs a lot to move them around. she also spends her time just resting in a crevice in one of my rocks cleaning her legs. what should i do with her?

jefferysgirl Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 91 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	well two of my ghost shrimp had eggs and now the eggs are gone. I can't find any traces of the babies so i guess my fish ate them. But the mothers are just as big and healthy as ever.
