They will be attached to the little appendages under the tail. They start off greenish and turn to orange/red as they prepare to hatch.

They look like they could very well be carrying eggs.

Raising them is a terribly difficult task and quite time consuming.

It's better to consider this an additional planktonic food source in the tank.
They should breed often.
