breeding coral banded shrimp

[kroman]

so it looks like my mated pair has done the dirty and now one of them i guess the female has a bunch of eggs under her belly. Does anyone know what i should do if anything? what are the chances of them hatching or survival ? Or are just just future fish food? I know next to nothing about these critters.

I actually purchased them as a male female pair,, the male seems to be smaller, but not by much.

CBS female

You can always see green ovaries on the underside of female tail w/wo eggs, and mated male will stay by her side during the day and at night will cruise the reef seperately looking for food or opportunity for. Have mine for 1.5 yrs now Male is same size, female always making eggs.
