    i have 23 cherry shrimps in my tank, and after they gave birth, most of the adult shrimps went M.I.A... If its dead, there should be a body right??

    The adult might be hiding in any place that is away from light, or it might be the adult is dead and the small shrimps has already finished snacking on them... I believe you don't look at your tank 24/7 right....?
    Been awhile since i last kept shrimps/ fishes, please give me your kind guidance!

    They are either hiding (females will moult again after releasing all the eggs), or they may have jumped out of the tank if yours is an open tank.

    +1, They are most probably hiding.

    What you can do is to stop feeding for a few days and then drop their favourite food, wait 5minutes and I am sure they will come out.

    If you find dried shrimps on the floor, it usually mean bad parameter that shocked them to jump out.

    Hmm wait a few days and see if they are there? How big is your tank? I had the same problem with my small tank last time as they would sense the food better, just finish up their snack friends and body will disappear the next day when i wake up...-_-
    Never enough tanks, never enough money....
