As this is my first venture into cherry shrimp raising I need some help. I notice in my tank now there seems to be these tiny and I mean tiny little white dots ziging and zaging around are these the babies ?? I need a magnifying glass just to spot them. There is nothing else in the tank except snails and they are small. Thanks

it's not the one in the upper right and it could be the other but they are SO tiny yet can't really tell ... which is why I asked.
