New shrimp keeper here. I know this shrimp is carrying eggs because I can see them through her belly when light is behind her. It might be hard to see but what is this white/green thing on her side? It's a little creepy looking and it's my only shrimp that has this. When it crawled on the front glass i could see it had 3 to 5 more on the abdominal ish area. I couldn't get a picture of the belly in time and now she's hiding in the back.

Do you guys know what they are? They stick out kind of far.

Some shrimp have green eggs but it looks too big for an egg. It might be some plant matter or something else but I need a better picture. :)
 
Nice looking berried up female red cherry shrimp
 
Thanks. Ordered from Aquatic Arts during black Friday sale. Ended up being cheaper than my local fish store, didn't come half dead like my other experience, and much better color. :)


Looks like whatever that thing was that was protruding out of it's right side fell off or something. Looks like eggs to me now!
