What the f.... !?

I have 6 yellow neon females with 1 male. More than a month ago, all females were berried, but I'm yet expecting to see a single shrimplet...:huh-:

Now, 4 of them are berried again. One have lost most of her eggs but 2, and another just molted with the eggs still on the shell . What makes me sad is that I can see the black eyes of shrimplets in the eggs. :blank-stare:

I have left the shell and the eggs in the tank. May be they are mature enough to hatch?

What the hell is happening to these females? They are in a shared tank. In the other comprtment, there are blue pearls, and they are breeding like rabbits.

A picture of the disaster, the molt with the eggs on it. Sorry it is not a good quality, but my phone has some problems to focus on macro...

I checked this noon. Eggs are still clear, and I can easely see the eyes of the shrimplets inside...

They may survive but you should try to dislodge them from the molt and either use an egg tumbler or try putting them in a very fine net near the bubbles from a filter so they have moving water around them- this will help keep fungus off them. Many people successfully hatch the eggs this way

Thanks garry & Ineke, I will try that.

Was afraid to move the eggs from the molt and do something wrong.
