Preg shrimp is dead! :( How...?

I thought ghost shrimp spawn in brakish water? I know they'll carry eggs but I didn't think the eggs hatched in regular FW..?

Good luck with the eggs though. :)

Weird. When I had ghosties I would see them with eggs but never ever any babies. Granted, I had cories as well as other fish that I'm sure would eat them.. But I've even bought like 20 ghost shrimp with at least half of them carrying eggs so I would think I would spot at least a couple babies.

Come to think of it, that does make sense though. These things are frequently living in regular old ponds and creeks. Where would the brakish water come from.. Haha.

Now I'm disappointed I couldn't get any baby shrimp.
