Peppermint shrimp with eggs

[Banjer1982]

I have a peppermint with eggs and if they are fertile, cause I don't know if my other one is a male, and if they hatch are they hard to raise and more than likely gonna die or are there steps I can take to successfully raise the eggs into adults? At least big enough to sell or give away.

No, its not likely that you'll be raising peppermint shrimp. They'll likely become food for your tank.

As of right now I only have 2 peppermints and 2 emerald crabs. I had 2 clown fish but they both jumped out of the tank. I haven't bought anything else yet I'm gonna put my top on my tank first. I don't want to loose anymore fish.

Cleaners and peppermints are simultaneous hermaphrodites when mature, so they are both male and female.
