Cherry Shrimp Breeding?

im not an expert on shrimp but im just going to tell you what i know. cherry shrimp are supposed to be easier to breed because the babies come out of the egg as miniature shrimp ( they dont need to go through the larval stage ). if cherry shrimp are like ghost shrimp then they probably dont lay eggs. the females will carry the eggs and fan them with water untill they hatch. a female can have around 20 eggs i think. cherry shrimp have what look like little fans on their fore legs. the fans are used to catch minute particles in the water for them to eat. so you need to feed the adult shrimp fine food like hikari first bites which is very fine because its made for fry. the baby shrimp might need something even smaller. you would need a supply of greenwater. you should be able to find out how to make green water online
