Hello, I have two peppermint shrimp and I believe one of them is pregnant and I’m just looking for anything I might need to know or really anything I should know about the shrimp. It looks like the eggs are fertile, but I’m not 100% sure so I’m just looking for some insight or anything you guys think I might need to know about the shrimp. Or anything I should do prior to possibly having more baby shrimp. This is what she currently looks like best photo I could get.

Our peppermint shrimp are constantly having eggs/baby shrimp. Have never had one baby shrimp "grow up" because we have fish in the tank. You might see little baby shrimp in the nooks but I think they all get picked off by the fish.

They are hermaphrodites so both of the shrimps will likely produce eggs.
