Sorry hard to see..maybe that's why they call the ghost shrimp..and my tank is dirty also.lol..here she is with eggs

Those may not be eggs my friend, it is very hard to tell. But if u buy 24ish at a time keep em by themselves in a tank they will likely breed under healthy conditions! Meaning good water params.

I tried this once in my main tank and nothing.... forgot about my uvc steryzer killing everything. And looks like u got a case of algae! Pleco?

They will multiply easily, I know if u start with more, they are hard not to breed. I used them as feeders and they were breeding in my sump with no light, no food, under 5gallons of water and about 1000gph

Your filter will grind the babies up like it's nobodies business! If you want to successfully breed them I would highly recommend using a sponge filter. That way the larvae would have a chance to live. Also I would advise you to keep a lot of cover in the form of living plant material, which harbors a number of microscopic organisms which can serve as food for the developing young.

Those are eggs. But Ghost shrimp are not easy to breed. I don't think they breed in freshwater, or the babies need to be in brackish to develop. Also best way to breed shrimp is with no fish.
