I just noticed one of my C. japonica (aka Amano shrimp) is loaded with
eggs!!! I guess she's happy...
I'm not interested in breeding, but wouldn't mind helping some of them
reach maturity. Is there anything I can do? It's a 110 gallon tank, medium
to heavily planted (depends on your point of view), low tech, well
stocked. What do baby C. japonica eat?

As other posters have said, it aint easy cause fish love them. But I have
found 10 or more 6mm/1/4 inch specimens in filters. If they can stay away from
the fish and find stuff to eat, maybe they'll grow.
