I’m new to the plated aquarium pastime purchased some crimson cherry shrimp about 2 days I catch them doing this fairly often is…

Yeah, she looks berried, although not a whole lot of eggs, might be a new mom. It’s normal, hope you’ll get lots of shrimplets.

I hope you have moss or hidey-holes for the babies. Most fish will eat them, as they hatch a mini-mini version of their parents, with no larval period.

Also, careful with the filter, if it’s extra sucky and has a lot of holes they can squeeze in, they will do so and possibly die. And also careful with water changes, as they are super small. In both cases, add fine pantyhose over the filter/ cleaning head to prevent such accidents.

Shrimp be shrimpin’, yo.
