Need help

Ok according to this pic it looks like my peppermint shrimp is carrying eggs. If so what do I need to do in order to keep the hatchlings.

Thanks for the info but it doesn't answer my question. Are those eggs

yea, sure looks like eggs to me. My bad, thought you were stating a fact in your opening post.

No I was asking my apologies if it came out wrong.

Those are definitely eggs, but I don't know if they are viable. They look so white. Do you have a magnifying glass? Can you see little eyes or anything? Or is it just a cloudy white? Do you have a male? They have narrower tails and the feelers under the tail aren't as long and soft as the females (like sexing a lobster). As for saving them, I wish you luck.

I think those are fertilized eggs because unfertile/brand new eggs will be much more hidden inside the tail. Keeping the babies would require isolating her and a lot of work.

Not sure about any of this just seen it yesterday and was shocked.
