About a month ago i added a few Ghost shrimp to my shrimp tank to help clean it up. One of the shrimp was carrying eggs. Well over the next few weeks they started dying off until i was left with one. I figured it was a male since I hadn't seen the female in a long time. Well after a water change there was a lot of movement going on in the tank and I noticed something in the corner. There had to be 15-20 baby Ghost shrimp!!! I never thought in a million years that would happen but i am now the proud parent of a bunch of baby ghosy shrimp, post larval stage. So let that be shown that they can breed in freshwater without any special attention.

ok, maybe they're not ghost shrimp. DO ghost shrimp have two red dots on their tail and a red joint on thier longer front arm?

It varies. There's a bunch of similar shrimps that get called ghost shrimp, glass shrimp, or grass shrimp. Mostly translucent, but some will have small variations in color...
