Here's some info from www.petshrimp.com

"This shrimp is not as easy to propagate in the aquarium as most smaller algae eating shrimp of the Caridina or Neocaridina genus, since the Freshwater Glass Shrimp produces free floating larvae that need to be fed micro-food items before they molt into post-larva and assume a benthic (= on the ground) lifestyle. In most aquaria the larvae will not find enough food to develop into their next stage and will starve to death. However, in some old, established tanks with a lot of detritus and decomposing plant leaves on the ground the larvae might survive since there will be microorganisms in the water column. This shrimp does not require brackish water for larvae development as some of their cousins that hail from brackish water and marine habitats (such as Palaemonetes pugio and Palaemonetes vulgaris). Unfortunately, it is very hard for the general hobbyist to tell all the different Palaemonetes species apart, as they look almost exactly the same."

A full profile for the ghost shrimp is here.

nothing, just maintain a healthy diet, and increase the temperature slightly to signal spring and just wait.
