Eggs going bad

[RonWill]

Dear 'no name',
Yamato and Malayan shrimps will actively seek and consume freshly-laid eggs. That is what I've personally observed.

I tested Cherry and 'Black-shell' shrimps with expendable mix-lineage AUS eggs to see how 'egg-safe' they are. The conclusion, in my experiment, is that all shrimps are opportunistic feeders if other foodsource is denied to them, worse if they acquire a taste for it.

YMMV with other shrimp species, but let us know when you find one that doesn't touch eggs.

The shrimps I use to incubate Lyretail eggs are quite small. They are about the size of Cherry Shrimps. I could have made a mistake with the Ghost Shrimp name but I don't know what else to call it. The name in Mandarin when translated to English means something like "Black Shell Shrimp". I think they are from Taiwan but I'm not sure.
