baby peppermint shrimp?!

[reefjunkie42]

hey guys i have a pair of peppermint shrimp in a 10 gal and white little dots are moving all over the glass. 1 shrimp had eggs on her and still does but they look like they are "less full" under the tail than they were last night. any ideas? i cant snap a pic they are too small.

Dots on the glass would be copepods.

but it is a 2 week old tank..the lr is from a noter system but they didn't show up until i added the shrimp..hmm interesting.

+1 copepods when my peppermint shrimp had eggs they were greenish in color and when released they would swim in the water as the fish ate them.
