Snails like Apple snails eat algae only and not plants, don't think it will eat shrimp eggs. Good to keep them to clean algae on the tank wall.

do shrimps lay eggs? im just asking for general knowledge, i dont keep shrimps...
i noticed that ghost shrimps carry their eggs on their bellies, do other common species of shrimp do that too? Or do they deposit the eggs somewhere independent of the mother's body? |

Think all shrimps carry eggs in their bellies and only release them when it becomes shrimplets
