Frank_Farmakis · 05-21-2008, 08:51 PM

Hey guys, today i was looking at my shrimp ( Lysmata Debelius) cause they changed their shell and i noticed that one of them had orange things under neither their tail...i was wondering could these be eggs? I thought their eggs were green. Anyone know anything?

Frank,

I moved your post from the Saltwater (Fish-Only) Aquariums Forum into the Reef Aquariums Forum since your question is about invertebrates. Hopefully someone will be able to comment in this Forum.

The color of eggs changes on day 10 or 12, I think, from green to orange.

Here is a 2004 article in Advanced Aquarist specifically on the breeding of Lysmata debelius.

I assume breeding will be similar to L. amboinensis as described by Joyce Wilkerson in her excellent 1994 article that zhenya linked.
