Just let them grow with the adults, they'll be fine.

The good thing about RCS Young is that they need no additional care. Having an established tank is a plus though, plenty of bio film for them to graze on.
Only problem I have is keeping them out of my external filter. If the inlet is covered with too fine a gauze then it blocks daily, too open mesh and some babies will be sucked up. I normally find quite a few living in my filter. They don't seem any the worse for it.

I use an undergravel for the shrimp tank, no worries sucking fry into the filter!

Since I have sand and plants I use an HOB filter with a Fluval sponge prefilter over my intake. It does slow down the flow, but as long as I rinse it out at least once a week it works fine.

You can transfer to separate breeding tank if you wish but they will be fine with other shrimp. Other will will try to eat them though!
