"A berried female guarantees babies"
Use the complete answer. A verdict without its boundary and next action can become another myth.
What is supported
an ovigerous female is carrying attached eggs.
What is not established
the observation alone proves fertilization, viability, a hatch date or retained juveniles.
What to do next
record the first observation, egg changes, hatch window, visible young and later retained cohort as separate events. Use the breeding guide.
Exact evidence trace
This is the selected claim-level trace, not every source used by the broader guide. Roles describe how each record is used here; they are not quality grades.
Evidence records
- direct support Post-hatching development of the ornamental freshwater shrimp Neocaridina davidi in aquarium conditions: Separates post-hatching development from the earlier observation of attached eggs.
- direct support Female Growth and Offspring Quality over Successive Spawnings in a Caridean Shrimp Neocaridina davidi with Direct Development: Measures successive reproductive events rather than treating egg attachment as guaranteed retained offspring.
- limitation context Investigating the Expression and Function of HIF-1alpha in Neocaridina davidi During Embryo Cleavage Stage: Embryo-stage observations and molecular results do not supply a universal viability or hatch forecast.
Named open questions: no current gap is mapped to this exact claim. That does not prove completeness.
Inspect the broader guide evidence dossier for all records, authorities, gaps, searches and changes connected to the practical guide.
