Cleaner Shrimp with egg...

[Altantis]

But the shrimp already turnover. Can see something in the side of shrimp moving...

nothing wrong what. shrimps with eggs doesn't necessarily will die. mine had eggs too and survived to release them. =)

Some say should find those without egg. Cause those with egg is female one and some fish will kill the shrimp as they want to eat the egg...

? No egg is male...>?

i have 2 cleaner shrimps in my tank , n they both constantly carry clutches of eggs. dis shd be the 5th or more time.

dun ask me how or why. (i also dunno heh. (",)

wouldnt the shrimp make a tastier meal then the eggs ? (wld u go for the chicken or the egg ?)

From the list of fish on your signature, none of them would go after your ehrm $7+++ meal ?

I would agree with the shop that sold the shrimps to you. (i dunt tink it will be much of a prob IME)

Shrimps are very sensitive to water perimeters, a sudden change in temp , specific gravity WOULD make a difference.

Request that the packing water is from the same holding tank that the shrimps are.

i threw some ###### shrimps into my sump (of another tank) while i was redoing the rockscape.

guess wad , all of them died the next day ...

urmz, i always do a rescape with my shrimps in my tank... i having 2 x cleaner, 3 x ######... all of them survived my recent aggressive and though rescape... my water was soo cloudy i cant see my hand through the front panel... SERIOUS! though after the water cleared, i cant find my sexys for like a long long while...

talking bout shrimps, how to catch a mantis shrimp? i got 2 rouges in my tank.. haiz. clicking everynight to high heavens...

(wld u go for the chicken or the egg ?)

I WILL GO FOR BOTH! xD

Well, I agree that buying cleaner shrimps that is pregnant and carrying eggs is NOT a problem. I believe the shrimp died in your care. Is ur water parameters OK?

Did u just dump the pregnant shrimp into the water without proper acclimatisation?

Invertebrates are very sensitive to water parameters, and proper drip acclimisation of above 2 hrs is recommended. (note: floating water bag above the tank is NOT completely considered acclimatization).

yeah right... says who? must be some ignorant person.. the fishes will only eat the newly hatched shrimps..

Hrmz, thats the 1st time i heard of something like that. Shrimps dying proberbly has something to do with your acclimasation techniques or your water parameters. I bought a shrimp loaded with eggs once and didn't accord it any special care. Its still well and alive till now...
