shrimp babies????

i was just looking into my tank and i see little white things floating around... in closer inspection ... they look like shrimp, about the size of fleas or smaller... i do have 2 skunk shrimp in there... maybe they had kids? ... they are to small to catch and they have a body and a tail and little hair like legs

Very cool that you got to watch. Most quickly become fish food.
