last night i noticed a peppermint shrimp that had a green belly w/ small eggs turn kinda brown to clear. ( over a corse of like a whole day) well as soon as night fell is started releasing thousands of shrimps .it was very cool. well i want too see if i can raise some. so i isolated them in an intank net breeder( about 200). i put some flake food in there but i think there to small to eat that. well any info on what i could feed 'em.

Sadly that would have a happened anyway, it is near enough impossible to provide the nutrition required to feed baby shrimp as they require lots and lots of plankton-type organisms. While it is technically possible to feed them these it is not possible to do it while maintaining water quality in an aquarium which is why not many people will attempt it.
