My ghost shrimp has babies

[ncstater1919]

my ghost shrimp has eggs that are green and i was wondering what i should do? should i leave her in there or what, i only have a ten gallon tank and no other tanks so can she live in a fish bowl or um what? please help!!!

did the eggs hatch? what happened?

i've had this happen before and was very excited about having more "free" shrimp to disperse among my tanks so i did some research with my biology teacher from high school. from what we found and i remember only some of the information, the female will drop the eggs and they will hatch but are very difficult to see and to raise, especially left in a tank with fish where they'll become fish food.
despite this, i still think it couldn't be that difficult (even though i didn't want to bother), they are after all sold very cheaply at fish/pet stores.

edit: i decided to do some googling on the breeding of ghost shrimp and found a little blurb here with basic info.

you sure she didn't just malt? sometimes it isn't easy to tell between an alive shrimp and its dead skin.
