Ghost Shrimp Observation

[JPH1970]

I put in 10 ghost shrimp and as expected, they're hiding. One of them is mostly white and two are partially white. They were fine when I got them from the store and when I got them home, I noticed they were turning. I'm going to attribute that to being stuck in a bag for some time.

I also read that they could be getting ready to molt or it could also be old age.

My water parameters are fine.

I have noticed that many of the shrimp are carrying eggs. I'm hoping that they'll be fertilized and maybe they'll hatch

These shrimp will be fun to observe.

Oh and they were 5 for a dollar

I'm hoping to witness it too!

Even if the shrimp don't make it , I won't be disappointed since they're 20 cents each.

Be careful with shrimp like that. I got one from Petsmart and long story short: it had a disease and killed 2 guppies.

I trust this store. They seem to be on top of stuff

Hopefully LOL!!

Shrimp don't carry any known diseases that kill guppies, especially two weeks after the shrimp died is what I think you said in another post
