They are eggs and they are behind the swimming legs now which are tucked under the main carapace most of the time.

What does that mean, they already fertile and ready to be laid or not?

 

[saltynay]

Could be they will lay eggs if they are not fertile but they breed like rabbits so if you have both sexes in a tank then they will more then likely be fertilised. Cherries don't have a larval stage they will hatch from the eggs and be released from the mother and look like minature versions of their parents.

there amano, only have 3 and have only seen 2 since i put them in dunno where they hide yet, my angels will eat the hatchlings anyway was just wondering

 

[saltynay]

Amanos do produce larvae which will die in freshwater before the angels get to most of them. They will survive for 2-3 days then be dead unless moved to a brackish tank. 3 is quite a msall number I would say add 3 more then you will find them a lot more often as they become more confident when in larger groups.
