  1. Do you have a closer pic? It could either be clado or slightly oddly colored eggs.

    I don’t usually see them thwap clado with the swimmerets, the thwapping is usually reserved for eggies.

  2. Wow ok those are eggs based on your alternate views. Can see why ppl think its clado based on the color alone and a quick glance tho.

    Shrimps can do well in a variety of setups temp wise and are tolerant to even low 80s. I say whatever parameters you kept it at, u keep her at. I find higher temps promote faster growing but can also create an environment where there is a higher chance of bacterial infection.

    If you want to save the babies then yes avoid adding most fish. Most fish will eat baby shrimp if they can fit in their mouths.

  4. That’s not eggs. That’s an advanced case of Clado from what I can see.

    Quarantine the shrimp, treat with salt dips and spot treat with hydrogen peroxide. The infection is very very advanced, so don’t be surprised if she dies anyways.

    It’s rather hard to be absolutely certain, a closer picture or video would be good. But it looks too fluffy and fuzzy to be eggs.

  5. Looks like eggs are being fanned by the shrimp to me

  6. Doesn’t really look like eggs and if they were breeding in ‘cooler’ water I wouldn’t add in a heater now. 70 is mid-range for Neos. Most of my tanks are mid to high 60s no heaters.

  7. Looks like eggs to me…

  8. She is berried – meaning she has eggs. She will drop them soon. I would wait on fish they will eat the baby shrimp.

  10. If you try the heater make sure to increase slightly only, if it can breed under the circumstance it must be ok for them, sudden temperature change will instead shock or stress them causing potential egg drops

  11. While they don’t typically breed very well at low temps, these kind of shrimps (the wild type) breed in huge numbers in the rivers near where I live in Japan. And, it gets down to under – 10 degrees frequently, and is below zero essentially every night for months on end. They are very hardy, even though the colorful varieties have lost some of that.

  12. Don’t get a heater suddenly. Leave things be, at least until babies, so they don’t drop eggs

  13. I don’t use heaters and my tank stays around 68 with no problems. Shrimp constantly breeding

  14. Caridinas don’t need a heater if your ambient room temperature is between 68 to 73°.
