baby peppermint shrimp

[SHRIMPMAN]

anybody have any experience with rearing baby peppermint shrimp?
I got a shipment of peppermints and when I was acclimating them into their tank, I noticed tons of little almost transparent wigglers in the bag. Upon closer inspection I could tell they were baby peppermints.
Any ideas/thoughts/help?

I'd be somewhat your supprized that you will be able to tell they are pepermints, as shrimp tend to not look like shrimp untill they are nearly developed (somewhere around a monthish old or longer I think). It's more likely that they are pods of some sort (ampi, co, etc.) But its possible, so in the case I'm wrong here is a site that covers all the info you could ever ask for.

But in any case short answer unless you know what your doing then they will die, as raising larval shrimp is hard.

Thanks for the link Kevin, will definitely browse through it see what I can feed these things.
I have them in a floating container at the moment, all still seem like they are floating/swimming...

Well the issue isnt their motability like some things, its most likely the ability to keep the correct food types/sizes needed for each stage of their development. There are alot of things to consider, its doable, but usualy takes a bit of knowhow and preperation to raise them, and an unbelievable amount of dedication.
