I woke up today to find two of my female amano shrimps carrying eggs. I also think another one is starting to produce eggs as well.
Sorry about the pic being blurry, I couldn't keep my hand steady enough while following the shrimp. The second pic is a bit better. (btw the two pics are of the same shrimp, I couldn't get a pic of the other female with eggs)
It's a sad day for me because the process of raising amano shrimp is extremely hard and an amateur like me couldn't possibly do it. This is the third time my shrimps have produced eggs and I have to again see them go to waste . At least they'll make a nice healthy meal for my tetras and hatchets.
One of these days I'm gonna set up a small tank specifically for raising amano shrimp. I know I’ll fail a whole bunch of times but if I stay determined, I might be able to do it.
