here are the parents  i think is a female with 2 males but anyone can help me?

and here is one at 10 days old

and other at 10 days old

I think you are correct about the sexes. Males will be larger. In my case my male hides more often and hangs out near the bottom while the female is more out and about. 
 
When it's time to spawn my male will be out more and try to lure the female into the spawning pipe. There are vids in my journal showing this behavior.

"Making captive breeding easier."

The copepods that I culture do live in Mexican waters, though probably just off the east coast. Any possibility of doing some collecting?

No i love Far away from the coast almost 250 miles

Too bad. Well, keep up hope. You might want to talk to companies like Reed's. They often have business partners in various countries outside the U.S. Maybe they have a relationship with someone in Mexico (especially as I know that they do a lot of collecting off the coast there) who can get their products for you.
