If I am not wrong, female will constantly produce eggs just that whether they get fertilize.

Unless u have another male, they are probably just eggs.

My previous pair's eggs hatch... wonderful scene but it ended up as fish food... Those that i have recovered ended up dead after a few days...

most likley unfertilised eggs. if u add in another shrimp, they will get fertilised. i used to have a pair until my dottyback killed one. both shrimps can simultaneously get pregnant . i have no idea how they do it, but they always end up as fish food

the female are ablt to store sperms till they lay eggs right?

Thats the case of FW shrimps. Nt so sure with marine.
