Ok I have the parents in a 135 gallon tank can I just take pictures of the shrimp with eggs in them to prove that they spawned and then take pictures or a video to prove the larvae hatched?

How are you sure this is a Larvae and not a Mysid?

Chad, sorry about that I probably have mysids in my tank.  I should have done more research, that was a no brainer.  Sorry for the confusion, I will try to get the shrimp moved into another tank, for now could you just cancel those reports that I filed?  Thank you,
Kevin
