Nice photo. Hard to believe that I've found countless websites and posts claiming that it's hard to breed these guys in the aquarium...LOL. Joke's on them.
BTW, if you ever decide you do want to breed them, I find it's best to move the berried shrimp to a well-established, planted tank with no predators that might eat the babies. Once she's released her offspring, I remove the mother shrimp from the tank as well. Seems to work out best. In the free swimming larval stage, those little buggers are FAST, but I think once they settle out of the water column and start crawling around, they're subject to predation by larger ghosties.

Yep. They're as prolific as any freshwater shrimp species. Given a happy home, they'll breed like bunnies.
