None of the shrimps you have mentioned lays eggs, they deliver live bearer only. So relax they are not shrimp eggs :)

Post a clear snap for identification if you can :)

They are Shrimp eggs if it has shredded skin along with it. Cause sometimes due drastic change in water parameters or If they feel endangered by predators, female shrimp may abandon their eggs. It did happen in my Sakura tank with no snails.

shreded Skin, i have noticed, but never paid attention if its along with the eggs.

But the eggs are in a sticky sort of whitish semi solid substance, i have always found on moss, never any where else in the tank
