I can't seem to find an answer to this question elsewhere in the forum -- how big are newly hatched baby cherry shrimp?

I ask because my 2.5 gallon shrimp tank has little tiny slightly pinkish critters swimming around near the surfacce and landing/walking on the glass. They are too small to detect any sort of shrimp shape (I don't have a magnifying glass), but I'm wondering if they might be baby cherries.

I have had some hatch from my adult shrimp before, but not since I got the 2.5 gallon tank -- the original babies were from a cherry that was in my 29 gallon community tank, and I only found the babies in the filter and have no idea how many days old they were at the time.
