Ghost Shrimp Prego????

[AdamsAquarium]

So I've never considered babies when it came to ghost shrimp, but I can only assume that is what those green balls, INSIDE the ghost shrimp. Is that what those are??

I may be wrong,but don't you need saltwater to raise the larvae?

Not ghost shrimp and they are not larvae when the mom releases them they look like miniature copy's

Ghost shrimp do not look like mini adults. That is cherry shrimp

I plan on keeping them, if that is babies in fact. Little green balls is what it looks like.

I assume ghost shrimp are not live bearers. Do I need to worry about other tank mates eating the eggs?

Yes you will need a breeding tank the baby's need to be fed infusoria
