Makes sense. They come from marshes so a natural native environment will improve hatch rate and survival.

Hi, first of all shrimp like the Yamato Numa-Ebi don't release eggs, they release larvae. The Caridina is a fresh water only shrimp EXCEPT for it's larval phase. In nature the Yamato's newly bred larvae are take by current to estuarine areas where they feed on plankton, they evolve through different instars until they are a true replica of their parents. At that time they swim upriver back to freshwater where they live for the rest of their lifes.
To successfully raise caridinas you need to take the larvae through gradual water changes up to a salinity of about 1.02 then back again when the cycle completes.
You are looking for eggs, try looking for tiny little moving critters in the water column.
