Breeding Saltwater Feeder Shrimp

So my friend ordered some feeder shrimp online which stated they are SALTWATER SPECIES and not freshwater acclimated ghost shrimp. Their scientific name is Palaemonetes vulgaris. So anyways he gave me about 200 of them and I put them in a forty gal with a huge bunch of macro algae haha. They've been there for about a month now but I don't see any berried shrimps. I've looked online for anyone who bred them at home but I've haven't found any. Has anyone ever bred them with success? If so can you give me tips and tricks on how to? Haha thanks

Hard to say how likely they are to breed, and they may eat their own young in a system where they're as densely packed as that. Good luck to you though, and please give updates if you have any success!
