Cleaner shrimp with eggs!

[K-ROK]

I've got a pair of Skunk / Cleaner shrimp in a 55gal. tank by themselves with no fish. It was originally a QT tank - all the fish were removed into my main display tank but I haven't gotten around to getting the shrimp moved yet. I see one has a bunch of greenish eggs on it's little "swimmerettes" on it's bottom side. What are the chances these little shrimp will hatch and survive? Anyone have any experience with this or have any suggestions? I'll have to cover the intakes to the powerhead and filter I'm sure or shut them off all together. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry but there is no chance they will survive. if you have 2 shrimp one or both will always be pregnant. they change sexes as needed. I don't of anyone that has raised cleaner shrimp. good food for the tank though.
good luck

We have gotten over at least 30 pregnant in the past 2 years and none of them survived. There may be a chance...
