Breeding Brine Shrimp - Possible?

I purchased some live brine adults not long ago. I fed most of them to my fish as a random treat but today in the 10 gal I keep them in I have noticed A LOT of tiny little critters twitching around in there and some of them are slightly larger than the others but all look brine in appearance.
The brine have been in the tank over a month now and it does not even have a bubbler, just a heater with random filter/selcon feeding and no water changes.

Yep, if you feed them they will reproduce. When conditions are ideal they give live birth. They will create cysts when conditions are harsh.

Is that what those little ball things are on the back of their bodies? Its like 2 little pellets one on either side of the back end of their bodies.
