If you can get them isolated you've won half he battle. As others have stated the male will try and spit the babies if you go to net him. If you can set up a smaller tank than 10g so it will involve less bbs to saturate the water. A sponge filter works very well for the baby tank, as it does not generate much flow and is easy to clean. A few small plastic decorations are also useful for them to have somewhere to hide. Start practicing raising bbs with a fairly routine schedule. Basically you will require a new batch every other day. Selcon enrichment and some bbs food is also helpful for keeping the shrimp alive. Either phytoplankton ( expensive if you don't brew your own ) or some home recipe food. A good quick food for bbs is taking a cup of water and adding 2 teaspoons of organic baby food. 1 tsp of sweet potatoes and 1 tsp of peas. Mixed very well and you can use it to feed your bbs.
