Do you really need to move them? If you do, then the safest way is to ensure that the berried shrimps are in water at all times during the move.

I 4 tanks going right now, nothing fancy but my shrimp tank I'm in LOVE with I can't get over them and constantly want more, will it looks like one of my red cherries got to my female Red Rili and eggs are now berried... I already have 2 berried mama ghosts in a nursery with breeding boxes. Should I move her to and risk her dropping her eggs or let her be? I'm afraid there isn't enough plant coverage till they are bigger... I already have babies in the nursery too, they ghosts, I'm new to it all but learning very quickly.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that it should be fine, I'll leave her be and hope for the best. I'm new to all of this and just want to do it right. I'm looking forward to seeing what I get from her and the rcs This was not an intentional breeding, but I am excited.

I think you should leave her where she is as therec are no predarors in the tank. I'm notsurewhy you think there isn't enough plant coverage as some pepole have zero plants??? The less the shrimps are messed with the better, especially when berried! Simon

No, I suppose not, just really worried about having enough plant coverage, it's mainly shrimp- some ghost, 2 cherries,1red rili, 1 blue bolt and an orange bumble bee. 1 pygmy Cory, 1 otocinclus catfish and a few nerites. I know one of the cherries is responsible for this and i know about culling and things of that nature but I would really be upset if none of the babies make it
