I couldn't find the shrimp on that web site. Could you try posting a direct link to the page with the shrimp on it. Thanks.
just scroll down, its right after the marine shrimp... kind of pricey but much easier to get here I guess.
Excellent post 
I haven't yet had the oppurtunity to read one of these GS breeding articles ... So thanks

Well , its not that much work really.
Im just trying to cover everything all in one thread.
For example for a long time everything I came accross on the net said ''You cannot breed ghost shrimp because its cheaper to buy them, and because they bump into the glass and die!!"" They will only breed in a pond.
.........
Some people said "just leave them alone.They will breed like crazy."
........
Then I couldnt get them to stay alive. So ,I almost gave up.
Anyway Im sure one day I will have enough to feed some to all of my fish and still sell some. Right now that day is far away.
They do breed !{doesnt everything?} and the light nor the glass kills them, at any stage of their life!. I try to remember a quote I heard somewhere, it went something like this,, ""If you have a male and a female of anything {fish}
and you want to breed them,,,,, its possible!!
The mother ghost shrimp does not eat her eggs/babies. She holds them underneath her in her swimerettes? She constantly cares for the eggs.She fans and cleans them. She also eats any not fertile or fungused eggs. She holds them and releases them when they are free-swimming.
It is a possibility that she COULD eat them , if she was stressed. This could be anything, such as a sudden temperature change, no food, mean/too-many
tankmates.
The mother ghost shrimp could eat her babies when you move her to a new tank due to shock. To avoid this fill her new birthing tank with water from the tank your taking her out of !!! Toss in some decorations, plants real or fake, shells, gravel/sand/pebbles.<------------ thats easy!
------You can have a main tank full of shrimp and just pull out the pregnant ones , add them to the birthing tank. Take them out after they have released the eggs..
-------Hair algae is a problem for people!!! But, Fish and shrimp love it. They feel more secure and they eat at it. Large fish eat entire blobs of hair algae
>>>.............I have it in some of my livebearer tanks and the mollies pick at it 24-7. It grows faster than java moss. I moved a blob of it into a bucket and found out there were 6 guppy fry hiding in it. On the other hand its hard to control hair algae.
