every jar got a pregnant ghost shrimp..
at the middle there's big ghost shrimp and the shrimp look like she had a saddle ? and i this one seem like it going to hatch earlier than others.. but how long does it take ghost shrimp to hatch since they were pregnant ? and i only feed them with sinking pallets (the size of pallets is very small) or should i feed them with frozen bloodworms ? flakes ? ...
btw , i got a medicine it's good for fish to make fish healty , can i put it inside this shrimp tank too ?

The ghost shrimp just hatched fries !
Omg , i really don't know what to do .. i saw there's many ghost shrimp / glass shrimp fry !
I Didn't move the female from the fry yet because i see there's still more egg inside the female body.. so i manage to just let it hatch all the baby and i'll move it.. is it okay ?
 
Ghost shrimp. Do a google search for ghost shrimp reproduction.
 
you don't really need to do much for shrimp to reproduce or for baby shrimp to reproduce.

Provide them with food and they will grow up. You most likely didnt even need to quarantine them all to their own jars. A few might become snacks in the tank but you will be amazed how quickly they can reproduce anyway.
 
Not all ghost require brackish conditions for young, but being its hard to tell the difference between many of the 'ghost' species its hard to say for sure. Also I think they'd need to be fed phyto in the early larval stages.

If you want to have shrimp successfully reproduce get some cherry's they require nothing extra to reproduce and hatch as already formed shrimp.
