Hi new shrimp owner here. I’ve read and done lot of research. I’ve had them for only a short time before the 3 females I have became berried all at once. One is an orange and she has a full batch of yellow eggs. I have a clear, with red saddle and tail and a little yellow. She has a small 4 eggs batch (assuming because she’s new to the tank or a new mom) and then this beauty (as seen pictured. When I read about egg color they are yellow or green. Can someone tell me about these blue eggs? The male is all black.

Just wanted to give an update, I added 4 chili rasboras and they immediately went to town on the copepods seconds later. They have reduced their numbers drastically and don't bother the shrimp. Plenty of hiding places for babies and ground covering plants, so I am very happy with the addition. I also got a 60u UNS and am working on scaping it soon, then cycling with the Storm system. Another trip to Orange County for seiryu is in my near future. I'll post on a separate thread when I get that started. ?

I appreciate that, however she just became berried the same time as the others. I just got them about a month ago. I was told they were all female. The one male I was told was just a juvenile female. Now that I know more about them I understand why they were wrong. The orange was the first then the red then the red and clear last. Do you have any pictures of berried female that have blue eggs ready to hatch? I watch them frequently and never seen eggs on her any other color. Is why I ask. Plus I wasn’t looking to breed but now that they are I don’t care the color. I like all of them no matter the color.
