This is a good news/bad news situation.

The good news is it looks like she is carrying eggs, The black area under her tail should be lots of little eggs if you look closely.

The bad news is she looks like an Anamo shrimp which although they are happy in fresh water as adults they need salt water to survive as babies. It is possible to raise them at home but you will need a salt water tank with the appropriate shrimplet safe filter and correct live food so its a lot of effort.

Yep they eggs wont hatch unless you give them specific care. I love the glowlight in the background haha
