I have 3 ghost shrimps that are current carrying green eggs at their legs. How long do they take to hatch and are the young in larvae form?

hope you manage to raise the young. keep us updated.
WOw, thanks for the information. It sounds real hard to keep the larvaes alive but i will do a wait and see. Keep you guys posted.
Never create what you can't control
A word of warning that the ghost/glass/grass shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.) mentioned may not be the same as the feeder shrimps found in Singapore and/or Asia. Ghost/glass/grass shrimp are mere common names which may be used interchangeably among different species of shrimps that look alike.
It is very likely and probable that the feeder shrimp in Singapore is from the genus Macrobrachium, specifically of the species Macrobrachium lanchesteri. Originating from Asia, being widespread in Thailand, they do not need brackish water to breed, and will do so in freshwater.

There's a picture of M. lanchesteri with eggs in this discussion thread from another forum...
