Often freshly hatched brine shrimp is used. That's what I use to rear my M sabriculum with. I also use them with M. lamarrei lamarrei larvae. Even though their larvae grows in freshwater only, they still love to devour newly hatched brine shrimp.
Attempting to Breed Amano Shrimp

I can't wait to try mine. 
They are still slightly under 1 inch though. I guess I am still couple of months away from berries.

I don't think I'm going to be able to even try breeding these shrimp with what I have going on now with my tank. My shrimp will have eggs for about a month and then one day, normally after a large water change all the eggs are gone, no babies anywhere. So I'm thinking that she just dropped her eggs on the intake of my filter or something.
The pH in my tank might be to low at around 6.0 to 6.4 in
I can't use my 10 gallon tank since I had a major mystery death of shrimp and not sure of the cause, possibly the plants killed them, not too sure really.

Hi I realise I'm a few years late to help but this might help the next person. Definately use phytoplancton it doesn't polute and is small enough to eat. I added 100 ml and left lights on 24h a day. It reproduces too so is cheap. Also don't use brine shrinp coz they grow quicker than the zoes and become lunch. Here is my little vid on my success, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg11f4wC49Q
