Ghost Shrimp with eggs that look fertile.

[tlindsey]

The female ghost shrimp is over 1 year old and produces eggs. I don't have any other ghost shrimp. Today observing the eggs they looked very different from the past. I noticed a black speck on one. If you can zoom in on the pic and let me know what you think

Update eggs gone.

tlindsey I’ve had a group of a 2-3 dozen ghost shrimp in a 55gal for well over a year. I just saw a baby shrimp for the first time in my tank, it seems like these shrimp don’t reproduce as easily as others, but it does happen. I do see shrimp with eggs from time to time, also pictured below.
For size comparison: the two baby fish next to the baby shrimp on the sponge filter there are Endler fry.

Well that proves they don't need brackish or marine environment to reproduce.
