I have around 20 newborn shrimplets (about 2-3 mm) in a filtered 2 gallon bait bucket with moss and a little plants and I was wondering what the safest way to transfer them to a new 4 gallon shrimp only tank would be?

Or Should I be patient and let them grow a little more?
 
Why do you keep them in the bucket?

I would just put a slice of cucumber floating on the top of the water. Within an hour, you should have a bucketful of shrimplets on the cuke. Then just scoop up the cuke and shrimplets in a net and transfer them.
 
Good idea!
Thanks.

And when I saw the babies I didn't want them in with my betta so I set up the bucket
