they hide very well.. give them some time... youll start seeing more, and even if they are, the adults should be dropping more very soon.

Yes they hide very well, but more come out at night. After sunset, go to the fish room when the lights are off and it's dark. Use a flashlight to look for them.

Also, the babies are clear, the females don't get red until they mature. So they are harder to see because they are clear.
