do you have CRS = Crystal red shrimp) or RCS (red cherry shrimp) , i am confuse there ......

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.

Thanks for the reply back...I guess I will just wait and see.

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

no crushed coral ph at 7.2

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.
