Berried Rilli molted lost some eggs

[CNgo2006]

Hey guys,

So checking on my berried girls today I noticed a molt with a few eggs stuck to it, She (red rilli) still has the majority off her eggs but as said a few were stuck to the molt. This is the first time I have seen this so just wondering if you guys have experienced this? I have read that sometimes they can lose all the eggs they were carrying whilst molting.

I have removed the eggs from the molt and will attempt to artificially hatch them.

Cheers Chi.

I have had this happen myself

i think it's either a beginners mistake(is she young)

or the eggs were not fertilised

No she was not a beginner, quite a large girl, will see how it goes with the artificial hatching, maybe it was unfertilized? Thanks for the response buddy

If a WC or WP has occurred recently, this can lead to premature/forced moulting....
