eggs are discarded. get a pic of this shrimp if you can. I can't visualise what you are saying. Possible she might be having moulting issues. sometimes they moult and die. I add calcium/magnesium (dolomite) tabs for people when that happens.

I use fragments.

I have seen on some of my females particularly the really dark red ones, they have a almost transprent area across their saddle. there you can see green or yellow eggs. I know mine often hunch over and pull on their tails.

otherwise most of mine hang off the riccia.

sounds painful though.
