I woke up this AM before my lights kicked on and I was looking in my tank and I saw that my shrimp molted ( cleaner) so while looking the lights poped on and I noticed my other shimp did the same thing, I was like ok thats weird both on the same night.. then looking at the top of my tank ( tried to get a pic but they are so tiny. I saw what lookedlike baby shrimp, had the heads, tails, little legs and all.. could this have been them?

I asked a LFS and he sais they were a amphipod..I have tons of pods but these gus were tiny and clear.. looked like shrimp to 3 people now and this is the first time I have ever seen them.

Any ideas? I will try to get a pic but they are tiny and clear :(
 
Could be your shrimp gave birth overnight. When mine did, all the babies stayed at the surface for a good while.
