Does this amano shrimp have eggs?

I would say yes. It looks a lot like a saltwater prawn or lobster in berry.
Break out the aquarium salt if you want them to hatch. Amano prawns need salt to breed.

Should I break out my 2.5G and add some salt? It would be cool if they hatched. I can sell them.
I would say give it a shot. Let us know what you get because I don't know of anyone having successfully bred Amano prawns.
Tank is 29g. 4 different plants. A pair of corys, 4 Platys. A pair of guppies, female beta fish, 4 amano shrimp, and 6 new tetras.
I would use your 9.5 liter, the others will not take to the salt well.
Might want to am for 1.005-1.012.

I thought you were talking about aquarium salt. Not real salt. In that case, I think its pretty far fetched for me to Create a saltwater tank just for some shrimp eggs.
Yeah, that's probably why Amano prawns are not really bred in captivity. It's kind of a hassle to recreate an estuary just for prawn breeding.
I understand. Perhaps in the near future I could put up a a little shrimp breeding thing. I know they sell out so quickly, so I could sell the, to my lfs.
