Shrimp don't become pregnant, when you see the eggs under the tail are considered "Berried".

Shrimp don't lay the eggs they keep them under their tail until they hatch and develop into miniature versions of the adults. So to answer your question no the eggs won't be eaten. The ghost shrimp will eat the shrimplets.

Your blue shrimp and cherries will cross breed however and you'll end up with a bunch of ugly brown shrimp.
