[VIDEO] Flowerhead mama transferring eggs from saddle to belly sac

[Ecalyte]

Hi all

I was deliberating between putting this as an update to my flowerhead thread, or post a new one. I decided the latter because I believe this is something very rarely seen even by seasoned breeders..

This video is undoubtedly blur, but please watch in HD and focus on the bottom of the head close to the belly. There you will see streams of little black eggs moving into the belly sac (assisted by her claws).

The entire process will take less than 2-3 minutes, so I consider myself very lucky to have been able to capture this on video.. I've never seen this myself before this video..

I hope you guys find this video informative and enjoyable!

At first I thought she was pooping then I saw the black roundish stuff coming out. A good thing you captured this because I always wondered how the shrimp laid their eggs and transferred them to the pleopods.

Apologies for the noob question. What do you mean transfer egg frm saddle to belly sac? lol i always tot shrimps somehow form eggs after they moult.. And then they keep fanning them and the eggs move closer to the tail and then shrimps are just born this way...
