How fast do they breed? Given the right conditions, prolific may be an understatement. I am not sure how many per brood. I started with 10 last October in a planted 15 gallon tank. I now have over 400! I sold 100 last week and it did not even make a dent in the population.
When I could accurately count them, I had at least 15-20 gravid females at any given time.
I also have tiger shrimp breeding in the same tank.

Full disclosure: I was feeding a bit of NLS pellets along with veggie disks and pellets for the last few months. ( I had corys and otos with the shrimp). It did not seem to affect the shrimp population.
I just noticed two weeks ago the copper content in NLS. That is when I stopped feeding it to the shrimp.

I have fed NLS to my shrimps, and they love it.
copper may well be toxic to them (as it is to humans in high enough doses) however they also require a trace amount to live.

It is something I've seen a lot of people mention as a risk, but no-one claim to have lost shrimp to it
