Algae Shrimp Breeding

[MHunt]

Hello all,

I've kept algae shrimp for a little while now for keeping the algae under control in my planted tanks. I just set up another not quite so planted nano and moved one of the two shrimp I had into it to control the algae growth, I added another 5 about a week ago as there was far too much for one shrimp to eat and today noticed the original shrimp appears to be carrying eggs under it's rear legs. Now is there anything I can do to raise these baby shrimp, or do they need (as i think i read somewhere) a spell in a salt water environment to mature? Any info or advice would be great.

WAY too many shrimp have a common name of 'algae'. Could you post a pic or look through planetinverts.com to see if you recognize it?

EDIT: Whoops, didn't notice this was a double post.
