First off I don't know much about shrimp, this is my first shrimp tank. I'll try to get pictures later but I have 30 blue dream shrimp in 10gal heavily planted tank. I have been seeing molts around BUT now I see on one it's back is turning yellowish. Is this normal?

A shrimp on its back, or a yellow something on its back?

One of my shrimp I noticed a loose egg once on her side. The next time I saw the shrimp, it was gone, so she may have wrangled it back in.

Do you have a picture?

I'll try to get pictures but 3 sides of tank blacked out. Extra hard. No the back is turning yellow from head toward tail

I can't tell for sure, but maybe it's "saddled", which is the immature eggs showing through the shell.

So this is my first time breeding shrimp. I have blue dream and this morning i noticed a super pregnant one and am excited. But as i took pics i noticed a few eggs like dangling or fell out. Did her pouch rip??

It’s fine, sometimes they just have too many eggs to hold and a few end up dangling or falling off. There is no pouch to be ripped either, they keep them on their swimmerets under the tail.
