How to collect my fairy shrimps eggs?

-first time owner with fairy shrimp and their laying eggs, i want to know how to get them out of water and how to dry them without harming them? their eggs are tiny!The female will eventually drop the eggs to the bottom. They can be picked out individually, or if there is a good size difference between the eggs and your substrate, they can be sifted out. You can also try moving the female to her own container without substrate, once the eggs fall, they'll be the only thing in the tank and can be easily harvested.



Do note that fairy shrimp can lay a second type of egg that hatches in-tank and does not require drying out, though these will likely hatch before you can get to them.You can't dry them and NOT harm them. As soon as you dry them, they're dead. Just leave them where they are and they will hatch just fine.
I wouldn't move them or mess with them unless you don't want them to hatch.

There really isn't a way to move out tiny eggs.
