Should I be biling water & getting some rags? So will they survive or become food? How long till they hatch? There is hundreds of eggs attached to it. Kinda cool! Is there any way to grow them? (maybe in my fuge)

Don't waste your time. Experts can't even raise them. Most cleaner shrimp have eggs regularly.

Fishy!

Cool! I wonder what the baby shrimp eat? I wonder if they would eat rotifers?

your fish will love the babies.they are like snow when released ussually just after dark or when main bulbs go off.dont bother with trying to save babies the shrimp will have several batches from one mating ussually every 2-3 weeks after a molt one shrimp passes the other the eggs., it will seem both are pregnant.one shrimp will be empty for 1-2 days. mine have had at least 6 batches in 7mos.i was fortunate to witness release twice.good luck
