Default I just witness another exciting event.

For the second time since I've purchased my peppermint shrimps I've witness them giving birth to thousands of little babies. What a cool sight.

Have they grown up or did they become fish food?

Sounds like a feast for your fish.
I remember reading an article a while back on breeding peppermint shrimp for profit.

That's pretty cool. Hopefully some of them survive. Your shrimp multiply like my snails apparently do. I've got new egg batches every other day
