I just noticed that it doesn't look like it's eaten anything yet (nothing in the digestive tract). Another point for newborn!

Not eating = bad normaly.... right?
Are you saying that young shrimp have something similar to a yoak sack?

I'm guessing that it just hatched and it's so newly born that it hasn't had a chance to eat yet.

Well today I counted 3 in my tank and still counting; problem is the java moss on the wood is thick and the babies are quite transparent ~sigh~

For every one you can see, there's probably another 50 hiding in the plants.
