nice finally something is giving birth after so long of keeping fish.

i have guppies and short bodied xray tetras in my tank do i need to remove them? will they eat the baby shrimps?

anything i need to take note for pregnant sakura shrimps?

Really I don't try to keep fishes in the same tank as shrimps. I have not experienced it personally but some hobbyists have mentioned that if the shrimplets fit into the mouth of the fishes, they will pretty much eat it. The shrimplets are really really tiny for your information.

Nothing to take note about. Just the usual water changes etc and try not to disturb the tank as usual.

Yup. It's definitely carrying eggs. And your fishes will make a quick meal of the baby shrimps. A lot of hiding space like a big bunch of moss might help, but not for long.

Cheers,
