Tlindsey Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I'm new to keeping ghost shrimp. I started out with 5 and only had 2 for 2 about a month now. The thing is only one was carrying eggs well after the others died but noticed today the other carrying eggs also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlindsey Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Got home from work and did a little research. Ghost shrimp can produce eggs without a mate. Ok confused again Ghost shrimp need both male and female to produce eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Ghost Shrimp do not need a male to produce eggs, only to fertilize them. If the eggs are green, they are unfertilized. Fertile eggs will turn a yellowish color and you will notice tiny black dots start forming in each egg. it take about 3 weeks for eggs to hatch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
