Judging by the photo you provided. I can only spot one female which appears to be saddled(eggs ready). When the female molt. She will release pheromones into the water making the males go into mating dance swimming all around searching for this female. If you are saying that after a female molts she will get berried, yes included that she is saddled. Females will usually get their first set of unfertilize eggs when matured
Recent studies shows that putting recent studies in your statement have a higher percentage of trust people put into your recent studies. What?
How to see if saddled?? I been staring at my prawns for quite sometime >…<

You will notice a piece of yellow saddle along the back of your female shrimp. Try google for pictures

care to share what is this "magical leaf"?
Hmm there one tat said will help improve but I forgot the name...
Oh yeah I wanna ask if the preg shrimp molted the eggs live but do we need to move the molted skin with eggs?

If i am not wrong, the saddle on the females is a sign of fertility. So thats why we do not see saddled+pregnant shrimps as the same time.
Just let the shrimps be, and do not go and touch them, they'll breed naturally without any external intervention
Okie =3

I think the "magical leaf" mentioned is perhaps ketapang leaf?
Not sure if that directly helps shrimps breed, but it does lower pH slightly (good for certain shrimp species like CRS), provides a source of food for shrimplets and releases beneficial chemicals which prevent fungus growing on the shrimps and their eggs, so probably thats how it helps.
It'll turn your tank water into tea color though.
You can get dried ketapang leaves from places like C328 at around $1 for a large bag of it.
Oooo
