Maybe they die & u did not notice, they eat the dead shrimp, they rot away or suck by the filter if u did not cover properly.
Cheers....

maybe they die in the hiding spot.. like if u have wood, they might be below.. and some how they die.. so u cant see the body.

If they're female, sometimes they disappear and then show up berried. however, if you haven't seen them in awhile, most likely they died and their carcasses consumed by other shrimps. i once saw a preggie mama feasting on my mosura. didn't take her long to finish him off too.. ouch.

I think the shrimp die in a hinding spot or in the bushy moss... Otherwise the shrimps may be eaten by the panaria. The panarias can eat the shrimp dead body very fast.
