Sorry, my bad they are red cherry shrimp..any Idea ?? I'm at a lose

You know what .....
the reason can be multiple and so simple, they did not berried yet because (some of them)

1. - They are not ready to (my preference)
2. - One sex (but you say you have 6F 4M)
3. - they are too young (see reason one )

so with shrimp and any other aquatic dude , be patient.

Do you have any crushed coral in the tank?
What is the pH?

[bigal]

If you're in the UK and don't want to wait I've bought off someone on ebay twice and they're ready to breed when you get them, 3 of my females have just moved eggs to their legs after a week.
