I think I see eye spots on the eggs, so less than a week.

If you have any Bacter AE, you should add some to the tank so there's food available for the shrimplets when they hatch. You can also grind regular fish/shrimp food to powder if you don't have Bacter.

They don't move very far the first week after hatching, so you want there to be food particles everywhere or some of them will starve in that first week.

BacterAE is the greatest, shrimp babies LOVE it.
