Yes, the females sometimes drop the eggs, if they are not fertilized or do not develop the right way. Besides, younger females berried for the first time show this behavior. When having a berried female, you should always adapt the water for your changes to the tank parameter, btw.
it is not about being right or wrong. it is about learning!

This happens to young females that are not experienced yet. Also, you might have bad water and the female thought it was not worth it carrying the eggs if they were going to die.

Find any shrimplets yet?

yup. found them. almost 30 - 40 shrimplets. i hope they grow up and breed also.

GREAT NEWS! They are awfully hard to see when they first hatch! Now all we need is some pictures!![]()
