Kok Yong, to expect a 1:1 hatch ratio is way too optimistic. With what you have in the tank, you're very lucky to end up with 2 'shrimplets'.
Baby shrimps are helluva tiny and my older eyes can't spot them until they're much bigger. There's safety and food in java moss, so leave a thick clump for them and higher survival is possible if the shrimps are by themselves.
BTW, what's this 'Red Chilli' shrimp The only chilli shrimps I know are those that go with chilli crabs!
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
