Description:
|
Eggs at day 1 were filled with 4-5 globules. I think this means they were fertilized. Eggs were pale green and stuck together.
|
|
Location:
|
Usually the eggs are kept in the shrimps swimmerets, but this time, the shrimp released them. I took pictures, and then put the egg mass back near the sponge filter. The shrimp ignored them.
