Unfortunately, the larvae are extremely difficult to rear and so far, no good protocols for doing it have been established. It has only been done with limited success. There are problems with feeding, the fragility of the larvae, and getting them to metamorphose into juveniles. If you're really interested in trying to raise shrimp I would recommend starting with peppermints and then working your way up. Otherwise, the larvae will make great food for the tank.
