Hard to tell from your photo, but if they are "berried" they will have lots of small round eggs under their body. The one in the picture does look like a female, might be holding. Usually they will hatch within a month or so

Get a sponge or matten filter running (if you don't already have one).You can make them yourself or buy them from flip aquatics. You look like you have good moss so you're pretty much good.
I have trumpet snails also cause its only shrimps im keeping to help wit bioload
 
I noticed one h
Looks Buried. She should be tumbling the eggs for 30 days before they hatch.
i noticed one had green fungi(thought eggs at first) was I smart to put it in its own tank and should I call the store and get a refund on tht one non of the other ones have it so should I be really worried I cant believe it also its not the one in the pic Ive looked at all of them and see non only on the one

Be very careful and make sure non of the others get it, coz as far as i know there is no cure for it and it can be passed to other shrimp in the colony...

In otherwords, dont use same equipment with that shrimp and your colony to be on the safe side...

It could be just the one shrimp infected, so as long as they are seperated you should be okay...

But definitely keep an eye out for the remaining shrimp to make sure they dont start developing the same parasites...
