My finger nails are strong but my big toe nails always break not the tip of the nail break from the bottom or crack in the middle.

Damage to nail root: Previous injury to the nail root will cause portions of the nail plate to be thinner and weaker is one reason, and damage to the nail root and plate from fungal infection are two likely ways this happened to you. There are several treatments that may help.
