Yup ... those are eggs.

I think it would be a considerably challenging task to raise the fry. I think it has been done but to be honest I haven't really followed what's going on with captive raised shrimp, I think it's being done on a commercial basis with peppermint shrimp but I'm not sure it's being done with cleaners or fire shrimp or other species yet. I could be wrong.

They will hatch shortly after "lights out" at some point and then your tank will be full of itty-bitty baby shrimp. Unfortunately they must taste very good because everyone in your tank will have a feast. It's probably a really high quality food though, so their sacrifice is not completely in vain .... ???
