Any tips on how to keep ghost shrimp larva alive?

I have 7 ghosties not whiskers in a 2.5 minbowl with a sponge filter. I put a fry net in there and put my berried female in it. There is a 2in twig broken off a peice of driftwood and a marima ball in the net. There is also 2 other marimo balls on the bottom with gravel substrate. I added 3 pvc tubes in there too. My nitrites decided to spike and they are around 3ppm. I did not cycle this tank because its so small and I do daily PWC. I do know about the nitro cycle. I don't have another tank to put the shrimp in. I would like to try to keep the larvae alive after they hatch. I have spirulina I was thinking about mixing and feeding with a pipette. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think its possible

I've had ghost shrimp larva survive. Actually all the ghost shrimp in my 10 gallon came from a batch of petsmart shrimp that all died within a week. A single female was berried, I had her in my 5 gallon shrimp tank, her eggs hatched and she died two days later. Had 14 or so survive, and moved them to the 10 when they got large enough. I was dosing the tank with large overdoses of bacterae, and that's it. Apparently it was enough. I don't think they can survive nitrite that high though. In a bowl that small, with that many ghosts, there is no chance of the larva surviving. They will consume the baby ones

 

The berried shrimp is in a fry net that is fine enough they can't get out or be gotten to. Will adding spirulina mixed with tank water be ok if fed 2-3 times a day? Any tips to get the nitrite down quickly? I'm doing 30-50% daily PWC.

 

Sometimes the shrimp like to surprise. I thought none had survived but after a month+ I saw a tiny shrimp in my tank that was not there before. No new residents so s/he didn't sneak along. Somehow lived in the 10 gallon tank with 3 other grown ghosties and several fish. I don't know how s/he did it but hey.
