Reply With Quoteerm the cherries will drop the unfertilised eggs or she is a new mom cannot hold as much eggs as before.just throw the egg away don't have to place it inside the tank bro.
I have just got some cherry's from a LFS, and I notice some of the egg is outside of its cherry body.. the egg is in green colour..
They are still in the plastic bag now as I am acclimating them..
what had happened?
Should I put the egg inside the tank later?

but the "green" egg means it has been fertilised right?
if it is, I just dump them to the tank can?
not necessarily,i've seen yellow one too. they are fertilised too.throw in if you want.probably end up as food.

Never create what you can't control
Stress can cause shrimps to drop eggs.
If you have actually done a search, you would have come across this.

Bro, normally for berried cherry shrimps, the eggs will go through several stages (of different colours - yellow, green etc...) before they even hatch into tiny shrimplets...
In this process of carrying the eggs, there are many reasons for dropping the eggs (stress - maybe due to being introduced to a new environment; molting of old shell; other aggressive fishes in the tank 'stealing' & having a feast on the eggs...)... At this period, a good amount of hiding place for the berried shrimps should be provided (moss & more moss...)... or you may choose to either take out your berried shrimp into another QT until you think it's safe to reintroduce the mother & its shrimplets back into the main tank, or you may fish out your other fishes in the tank for the time being... Remember, if the shrimplets can fit the size of your other fishes, it'll become their tidbits...
[Otos are very safe with shrimps based on my own experiences...]
Anyway, looks like your tank is ready to welcome the cherries this time round... How's the plants so far?
Cheers!!
Yeah.. should be ready.. ammonia and nitrite almost 0
Well, just got them from LFS this afternoon.. I noticed 2 of them has finished molting in the plastic bag, I wonder If I should put them into the tank...
Anyway, I dont know which one is which one
And there are only 2 otos in the tank, they are doing fine..
uhmm, maybe I will just acclimate them until 10 o'clock.. enough?
basically, 1 drop every 2 seconds..
I dont have a big bucket so when the small container is almost full, I scoop the water in there away.. and just let the water dripping in..
i never did such stuff,what i usually do is, leave the bag floating on the tank,turn of the light - you don't want the heat from light to cook your shrimps. Leave it there for bout 10-20mins.Then there it goes open it and let them in.
just trying to be safe..
dont want them to be like my previous tetrahehe
