baby shrimp

Quick question if anyone is still up. Earlier I saw one of my blood shrimp get very aggressive toward the other one. I just looked in the tank with a small light and saw what might be baby shrimp. Lots of them. Any one seen this? Very small and everywhere.

well if its baby shrimp that just hatched, most likely itll be eaten by the fish in the tank

I just got the old eye glass out. They really do look like tiny shrimp. I got an old net box I use to put fish in my tank after they aclamate, it has very fine mesh. I'll see what happens.
