They are eggs, but you have to do nothing basically. If there are no fishes to eat the shrimplets when they hatch and a sponge to cover the inlet of your filter, you have nothing to worry.

Anyway, sms language is frown upon here. So better change before the mods hound you. Good chance to practise english as well.

Happy shrimping!

If you have enough cover for the shrimps to hide then the population should stick around longer. If you want to see them multiply and stay for the long run then it is best to separate them. So depends what you want.

I have decided to separate the shrimps to another tank. I read that it will take awhile for the eggs to be hatch, normally how long with it take

Around 1 month.

Normally I dont cover the intake pipe cuz most shrimplets actually thrive in there. Feeding on whatever comes into their way.
