Peppermint Shrimp Eggs? (º¿º)

[robert d]

We have 8 peppershrimp in our tank. One of the bigger ones has a yellowish (sack) something on he belly and she keeps, for lack of a better work, fluffling it with the little legs. Are these shrimp eggs? If so how safe are they in the tank? What am I seeing here? BTW I have a mandarin goby that is very hearty. We suffered an ick outbreak that wiped out all fish in the tank expect for him. He is still alive and he eats bloodworms everytime I drop them in the tank. Just thought I would mention since I see everyone always recommends not to try a mandarin.
So any ideas on the shrimp???
Thanks!!

mandarins are cool, just not reccommended for young tanks, which are small, unless you get a good pod population, or a mandarin that will eat food(rarely can find them), that is where they are a proble, a 90 is not in that category, especially if you got a good pod population, or have found one that eats food given, not familisr wiht the peppermints, only had ours a couple days(had to return him, eating dusters), but all the shrimp i've seen, get a black ball in their back side, and when they shed, off go the eggs(now that is only ghosts and cleaners)
