Ghost shrimp BABIES!!!!!!

[BrackAttack]

so one of the three females that i have in the 3 gallon breeder tank released her babies tonight. she had the fewest eggs maybe about 6. i have seen about 3 babies(no pics too small). i have half live plants in the tank and dead leaves from other plants and i crushed up spirulina wafers into a fine powder and hopefully they will be able to eat that the first week and on. lets hope they make it. any suggestions? i know i should take the other adult shrimp out but since i only have a few babies and the other two are holding atleast 15-20 eggs a piece ill just hope for the best.

Yea they are small but there is a white spec in the middle of the picture and then one below that.

From what i can see. They look exactly like adults except without there swimmerets.

Ghost shrimp can get about an inch and a half long with their body, but close to two inches long with their antennae included.

i have another mother about to release baby shrimp in a couple of days cant wait to see more. I really cant wait to see them walking around instead of the floating thing they do now. Probably only a few more days of that until they molt.
