My shrimp has been berried for just under 2 weeks. Since the beginning, an egg stuck out her side. Today I saw another hanging out the other side of her. Is she just an inexperienced mother or is she thinking of dropping her eggs? Or is this normal?
My other female (first time mother) dropped her eggs at 17 days after an episode of swimming around frantically. I don't know the eggs hatched or not but I don't see babies yet. She proceeded to molt the next night. Could the need to molt cause her to drop eggs?
I'm wondering if my daily top-offs (distilled water) are causing them to molt more? My tank is a topless 10 gallon and about 1 cm evaporates daily.
