My PH is around 7.4. I hope there is no problem.

Exciting!!! Good luck with the babies!

Thanks. But I don't know if the eggs will ever hatch.

Heard of people breeding them on ph above 7 with no problem. The only advice i would give is keep the water parameters always stable and leave it as that and don't do anything that would alter it very fast. If your tank is stable and she doesn't drop her eggs you are doing good. GL!

GL hope you get a nice little colony going

Thank you for the advice. I will not change the water so much for now. I use to change 2/3 of the water at once.

The eggs are red on color. Is it possible that the eggs are not fertilized when they are down in the abdomen area?

good to know that. Let see what happen. I have tiger shrimps as well. A couple of them have eggs, but I have never seen any shrimplets. Eventually all the eggs were gone. Maybe my tank was too small at that time (2 1/2 g). Now I moved them to my 5g tank. My crystal red shrimps are in the 10g tank.
