Not sure about this unless your water parimeter are close, else you are taking some risk.
Recently I was lucky that a nice bro sold me one of his pregnant BDS Mama to me and she has been in my tank very healthy and this morning still saw it snatching food from the otto.... so there is always some risk here and there...

but question, why do you need to shift it in teh first place?

Oh thanks for the answers, i am going to shift to a totally new tank soon. The new tank have not complete yet. But once it finish i going to shift it in a week later.

Why i shifting to new tank? It's because of all the poisonous thread in AQ make my hand itchy. Haha..

There's always a certain risk to it. When the CRS are stable in your current tank and got berried which means they are comfortable with the water perimeters.

By moving to a totally new tank with different water perimeter causes stress thus resulting in dropping of eggs, worse comes to worse it dies.

You could try getting the new tank perimeter as close as possible to the current tank, so by proper acclimatising. You can reduce the risk.

Good luck Bro !

Yes thanks you bro, will try to get it as close as possible to the current tank, think i will get some water out from the current to go into new tank so as to speed up cycling process.
