Prego or sick red cherry shrimp.

Hey guys.

I just bought new shrimps today and one has yellow things dangling from its legs. She is very small.

Eggs.

Did you research them before buying?

Yeah we have been running a tank for a while. It's just I have never seen one so small be pregnant. I wasn't sure if she was berried. I bought another that was clearly berried but I just had to make sure. Thank for your reply!

In my cherry shrimp colony I have been surprised how small the females start breeding. Some drop their eggs on the first or second attempt but not all.
It's also common for berried shrimp to drop their eggs when relocated.
