Dead Shrimps...

I think one of my tank is having issue...
So far, within one week, I had about 5 shrimps death...
I do see shrimps eating well, active, pooping, few femals carry eggs, plants growing well and I see some baby shrimps... what is wrong with shrimps death?
I also even checked my water. Nitrite, nitrate, ammonia is all 0 and pH is 7.2.
I know pH should be 7.0 or lower but, I don't think 7.2 will kill shrimps because I have few shrimps that had 7.2-7.6 pH and they breed like crazy.
I don't have GH and KH test kit... so, I can't test them...
I don't want to reset this tank because it's only been setup for 3 months and I don't think there is anything wrong with this tank.
I do water change 10-15% every 2-3 weeks.
I hope I don't have any more shrimp death...

Filter boxes...

It's been about 4-5 years since I started my fish hobby... I didn't realize I bought this many filters... I do have sponge filters and others but, I didn't have room to take a picture... Today, two of Eheim Ecco 2232 came and I took a picture before moving these boxes to cabinet. I am using these filters for my shrimp tanks and some are not even opened... I still have two 10g tanks and 20g tank that need to be reclean ready to use these filters. I might move to new house next year and would use them with new setup. Most of them was bought on sale or clearance.

Wow! More Berried shrimps!

My blue bee shrimp is berried again!
