Peppermint with eggs, Again!


Ok, so i picked up 2 peppermint shrimp about a month ago.
One already hatched eggs in the tank...last week.
Now the other one is loaded with eggs...are these 2 shrimp "rolling" around under the rocks.

Will they do this every month...it was really cool to watch the fry hatch at 2am--needless to say, worked sucked the next day!

I got them for aiptasia control...but they don't do such a good job when they are carring eggs around with them.

shrimp have the ability to change their sex depending on who is around and who is pregnant. it's unlikely that anything will survive, hopefully it's just a fluke that they were both carrying eggs at the same time. That once happened with my cleaner shrimps.
