Remove pregnant peppermint shrimps?

[mk3guy]

I have 4 peppermint shrimp in my tank, at least two apparently are preparing for birth. I just noticed the eggs last night. Was considering getting a little tank for them, or is this not necessary? I just don’t know if a flood of little shrimp larve won’t get into the pumps and filters, or if they die, wreck the tank parameters? I didn’t expect to be a shrimp grandpa so soon

You need a little tank for them, yeah - they'll get eaten, killed by equipment, or just starve in the main tank; they wouldn't hurt the parameters at all though.

Mine spawned once and it ended up being a snack for my clownfish
