Is my peppermint shrimp preggars?

She has what looks like eggs in her stomach from the looks of it and the other peppermint doesn't have anything like that in her stomach.

Here's a pic

Look up Gravid shrimp on a google image search.
And get some tiny cigars

If she is carrying eggs they will be held externally by the spinerettes under the thorax.

Okay it looks like the pictures of pregnant peppermint shrimp. Thanks

 

[badstorm48]

The eggs have moved and are now external by the spinerettes.

I wonder if it is possible to raise any or if they become instant fish food...

Free fish food, unless you move them to a rearing tank and decide to raise them.

So far the two peppermint shrimp are the only thing in the tank besides some hermits and a sea urchin. So, if they can get away from the hermits they should live hopefully unless they end up in the hob filter or sump they should live. Sort of excited. Figured if they lived I would give them to my lfs

Fish/Coral Food. Mine have eggs every 1-2 mths. I can see them at night when the lights are out. Pretty cool!

It's definitely neat seeing this.

Generally float around do your hand on the back filter will win.
