In tap water with lots of moss, they were breeding like crazy and loving it. Now they're in with 7 CBS with an environment intended for crystals, pH lower than 6.5 with ADA and they haven't bred in months. I noticed the same thing with my cherries.

To keep the red color they have to be in an aquarium with no other shrimp that can breed with them! @Geoff,

I bought 10 very red shrimp and one very brown almost black. They breed all the time, and i now have hundreds, but i have noticed that most of the young are clear, they lose their red and revert back. pH 6.3 Temp 26 degC KH 140mg/l Dose EI for plants Hi,
