Hi everyone,

looks like I have a pregnant ghost shrimp on my hands! I just noticed today but I'm not sure how long she's been pregnant.
She seems to have some trouble moving as she's not using all of her legs, and some of the eggs look whitish. does this mean they're fertilized and she's about to drop them?

Anything I should know besides move her to a new tank and remove her when they drop?
