Can ghost shrimp breed in freshwater

I think that I am going to put the female shrimp in a seperate tank so that the babys survive. Does the ghost shrimp in the picture have fertilized eggs?

It’s kind of hard to tell...

It is a good idea to put her in a separate tank though.:thumbs:
 
I have one female that has green looking ones and a female that has clear eggs which one should I seperate./which one has a greater chance of being fertilized and laying eggs.
 
I’m not 100% sure...

Probably the greens ones though.
 
Do you think that I could put two females in the seperate tank because I want to have alot of shrimp?
 
They only become berried if they mate, so yes theyd be fertile.
 
You could try, I have lots of floating plants and hiding places in my shrimp tanks. I have one female with berries and one without plus a couple of males

They might berrie without a male, the eggs just won’t be fertilized.

they reabsorb any eggs in the saddle (eggs visible in the body), rather than exit their bodies (berried, external), but i suppose in a rare case it could happen.
 
I wish I could have taken a clear picture of the baby but my camera would not focus on it. When I go to the LFS I am always on the lookout for females carrying berries. Do not see many but if I do I buy them right away. Found 3 so far.
