AReeferIsExpensive Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 they just get eaten if they hatch Link to comment

el pez Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 wow that was fast!!! i heard that peppermint shrimps throw their tiny eggs into the water column Link to comment
brianemone Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 yep thats eggs mine got them as well they start carrieing after they molt Link to comment
JustPhish Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Also, a shrimp is going to hide after molting since their shell is now soft and that makes them vulnerable to predators. Link to comment
FateX9 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 so it only had the eggs for a few days? i would think that means that you have a female shrimp where the eggs were never fertilized so the eggs were released just like a girls period pretty much Link to comment
JustPhish Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Skunk cleaners are both males and females, hermaphrodites. This is why a pair of any two will breed. Link to comment
