Hey:flamed: My red lobster is cradling eggs. Its amazing to see her wave them in order to get more O2 thru them from time to time.Its like national geographic. I call them lobsters cause thats what the LFS said they were. They look like lobsters with claws not proportioned to their boides i.e bigger,and are red and bonzai. Since I got them, they moulted twice and now the eggs. I have not seen shrimp in the LFS here in India, so no idea.
The question is how do I care for her and her eggs. I havent a clue. Would the male eat the young and do I have to seperate them when they hatch. Any help would be appreciated.
AND did I mention that THERE ARE EGGS :mwave:
 
Best to remove the father, at least. If it's a fairly large tank with cover, the female could stay, but it's best to remove her too. The babies should be able to eat crushed pellets, but it depends on their size.

Btw, they're not lobsters, they're crayfish, which are similar to lobsters except crayfish are freshwater and their claws are the same.
