Red cherry shrimp question?

I'm having trouble breeding my shrimp - sort of. I have an equal balance of males and females, lots of molting. However, the females aren't keeping their eggs. Instead they're dropping them. I'll see bunches of eggs laying on the plants. What's up with this?

My parameters were tested and they were all A-OK. The temperature is about 82, which they don't seem to mind. The PH is around 7.0. What can I do to successfully breed these and what's causing them to drop their eggs? Is this abortion - shrimp style?? ;)

    I honestly have no experience with these shrimp but i have an idea. how long have you had them for? because sometimes if they are new at breeding they dont know what to or how to do it correctly and it takes some time for them to learn.

    sorry, that probably wasn't much help lol

    good luck!
