Does my Red Rili Shrimp have a disease?

cmhassinger · Feb 4, 2020

So a few days ago I noticed my shrimp has some yellowing under his shell. At first my thought was it’s the fish food but after looking at it I guess that’s not possible because of where it is? Maybe this is a silly question but I just want to make sure he is ok and doesn’t have a disease.

The yellow is unfertilised eggs. They are on her back (saddle), if they were fertilized she would move them underneath her stomach (berried).

What! It’s not a male!

Well that is exciting.. but I am worried because it’s a very small tank and my endler just had fry so they are in there.. how long do they carry the eggs?

You may want to pick up a male :wub:

baby shrimp :yahoo:

I have had no luck with my ghost shrimp

My guppies share a tank with my shrimp. I have over 40 fry swimming around and the shrimp leave them alone. Not sure if the guppies will leave the baby shrimp alone if they ever have any.

I do have a male blue and male orange shrimp. Are they able to breed with her?

They can as they're colour variations of neocaridinia but if you keep different colours together then you'll end up with baby shrimp that revert back to the brown wild type.

30 days for fertile eggs, but we don't know if they will get fertilized.
Are you worried about over population or predation? I don't think either is an issue.
