Direct developer: the male pins the female and passes sperm packets; she lays eggs under her tail, carries them and then the tiny hatchlings, which look like miniature adults. No larval stage.
Start with 6-10 animals, with a mix of males and females.
A 40 L tank with plants, hides and sponge filter. Water 18-24 C.
Cooler, steady water and good food. They breed easily.
Females carry about 20-60 eggs under the tail for about 4-6 weeks; 3 mm young hatch.
Young are miniature adults. Feed fine foods and keep with plenty of hiding places.
Males have hard, V-shaped mating organs (gonopods) under the body at the base of the tail; females lack them and are slightly larger.
Typical for shrimp
Eggs are carried under the tail. Keep the water stable and don't move her.
After about 2–4 weeks tiny shrimp hatch. They graze on biofilm and moss.
Keep a sponge on the filter intake. Feed powdered shrimp food a little at a time.
They can breed themselves at about 3 months.

Set up a virtual breeding tank and see what would likely happen.
