No, there's no possibility. I've read that the females will produce eggs while they are molting. The eggs will just become food in the tank!

We have two cleaner shrimp that fertilize each other's eggs. When it's time to molt they will send out hundreds of tiny shrimp. It's great food for the fish and corals.

Yes, they are eggs I have a pair that spawns regularly. Fertilization takes place when "she" molts so no chance they are fertilized without another shrimp.

Its a senoir class (the only one that they had left) and well, the teacher said its the hardest subject inschool. I got cocky thinking how hard can this be? HARD every morning he starts the class with a 30 question quize with lots of dates, french names, ect. and first day we allreadyy had two picture assignments. Anyways, i am not complaining, but its hard and fun..:P

My cleaners fertilize each other. It was awesome one night watching them crawl on top of my toadstool and just eject their babies into the water. I knew they were fish food but my fiancée was panicking saying to net them. it was awesome to see the feeding frenzy under actinics
