What are the general conditions required for shrimp to reproduce?

Are they as finicky as some fish in when to reproduce?

Can Amano Shrimp be sexed ?

Do they lay eggs or are they live bearers ?

Is there a problem with inbreeding if you have two shrimp that produce
two more and so on ?

Much thanks

I poked into this issue myself a short while back, since my amano's seem to
be carrying eggs around all the time.
A: Brackish water is required for the 'fry'. In the wild, I've read that
they lay the eggs in a stream and the eggs wash down to the ocean before
developing completly.
B: They require feeding of newly hatched bring shrimp or plankton or some
such every couple hours.

Can't find the links I used last time....

article in the makings.
