Ghost Shrimp eggs???

[chazsgirl]

when i cleaned out my small snail tank (that I tried to also a house mommie ghost shrimp till she layed the eggs) I found 3 small green eggs. did I find good eggs or did I find dead eggs? I put them in my snail breeding tank. Is it possible to breed snails and ghost shrimp together or should I keep seperate?

SORRY IF I ASK DUMB QUESTIONS, THIS INTEREST HAS TURNED INTO A HOBBIE & I KNOW NOTHING, YOU ALL ARE MY TEACHERS!

The only way to tell if they are indeed any kind of eggs would be to post a pic or two. If that's possible it would really help. What size is the tank and what kind of snails?

ok I tried to see if I could see the eggs in the breeder net but i couldn't find them to take a pic of. the snails are pnd snails and the shrimp is a ghost shrimp. the eggs looked like the ones in the mommie shrimp but i don't know how long it takes to hatch and if the snails would eat them. sorry, I am not help!

Pond snail eggs are generally small white eggs in a gelatin like bubble. I do not have shrimp so I have no idea if they could be shrimp eggs.

would snails eat their own eggs??? I took them out of the one tank and put them in the net but they went to the bottom of the net.

Green eggs could very likely be dropped shrimp eggs. If eggs are dropped, it is difficult to get them to hatch. They typically mold and the embryotic shrimp dies.
