I had been on a fish collection trip today and caught a lot of regular fish but what caught my eye was a fish like structure with a white body and a red tail, on closer inspection i saw that tehy were the fairy shrimps. i never knew that these little creatures of the past lived near my place.
here are some pics of them

the above pics are of a male,
anyone has any idea on how to culture them??
anyone on this forum cultures these little creatures of the past??
any tips and advices would be greatly appreciated.
 
anyone??
 
I'm guessing they'll need a sand substrate to bury their eggs.
 
these guys have already started laying eggs,
since i put em up in a BB tank all the tank bottom was covered with eggs,
harvested some of them using a turkey baster, now my question here is, should i dry the eggs, freeze them and then re-wet them or should i just let the eggs be in the tank??
