This morning I was vaccuming one of my aquariums. Before dumping out the water I noticed someting very, very tiny swimming at the bottom of the bucket. I found a pic on a google search and found out they are baby shrimp. What I have not found is how to take care of them. What I have done is move them to a 6.6 gallon bookshelf tank. I do not know where to go from here now. Can anyone advise, please? I should add that I am not sure what I should be feeding them, I am hoping for some of them to survive...

They are ghost shrimp. I hope this isn't confusing... The tank I was vacuuming and discovered the baby shrimp in contains balloon mollies, ghost shrimp adults, and cory cats. The tank where I put the baby shrimp was where I was keeping 4 baby guppies and 2 baby mollies. The fish were big enough so I moved them so the baby shrimp could have the 6.6 gallon to themselves. There's lots more to be rescued from the big tank but that would be a lot of work.
