I had bought 4 full size ghost shrimp a while back from my local fish store.
Of course all of them were pregnant! or whatever it's technically called for invertebrates. One of them died off about 4 weeks ago, and the other 3 I'm assuming all laid their eggs, since they're no longer under them being fanned. The only problem was I had heard that the eggs would then float and usually be eaten. Yet I could not find ANY whatsoever, naturally I assumed they were eaten, and didn't think much else of it.
Then about 10 minutes ago, I was looking in my tank and I saw a TINY ghost shrimp moving around, it's maybe about a half of an inch long if even that.
Confused I thought one of my shrimps had discovered the fountain of youth and started to reverse its natural process of life, but a quick look around revealed all 3 of my bigger shrimp, and now I have a fourth again.
Is there anything I should be doing in terms of feeding for this little thing other than letting it eat the normal brine shrimp/blood worms/flake food?
