brocknorman Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 So I am wanting to start selective breeding. I have a breeder box, that I want to put a pair of shrimp in. My only problem, is that I can't identify which shrimp are male and which are female. These are TBs Btw. Anyone have an effective method to figure out which shrimp is a female and which is a male?-BrockSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 The best way to sex shrimp is to check the 2nd abdominal segment for a spoon shaped segment. Here is some photos to better explain what you look for in a female shrimp. Also keep in mind young females will exhibit the round segment but might not show the typical "big belly" till they carry their first batch of eggs. Soothing Shrimp, DETAquarium, svetilda and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
