:D  :D  Hey everyone!

I have a shrimp thats holding eggs under the tail.  It's been close to 4 weeks now.  

How long will she hold onto these and will they actually survive.  I do have a hospital tank if needed.

Any answers! or suggestions.  Looks like alot of eggs.!!!

If memory serves.. unless you have brackish water, you can pretty much forget about successful spawns of amano shrimp.

Right on the money there. Amano shrimp need to be in brackish water to reproduce. The eggs simply will not do it, otherwise.
