I noticed that my pregnant clarkii is dropping some of her eggs, I looked it up online but couldn’t find anything. She has dropped atleast 15 eggs that I could see, Could this be normal if she be removing the infertile eggs of the batch or could this mean they are all infertile or even a sick crayfish?if anyone has experience with this please let me know anything helps. Oh and also I switched out the crayfish with eggs into a tank by herself and that’s when I started to notice the eggs on the bottom, the water parameters are on point as well

They could be dead eggs, and that’s why she’s dropping them. Try and put her in at least a 20 gallon to prevent her eating her babies. Make it as natural as possible, nature always finds a way.
