Dukendabears Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Is there a saddle in the neck area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Based on the bottom line which is more on an angle I would say male. Tiger females tend to be much more fat looking all the way to the tail, sort of curved. If it tapers off its more likely to be a male.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 How old is this shrimp? It looks as if it is not mature yet? That can be a real fooler when trying to sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07armando17 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I just got them last Thursday from blue crown, they're juvie size roughly, this one is one of the bigger ones. And yeah looks like a male looking at it now but we'll see thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty703 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah Tigers can fool you for sure....I swear I have a lot of males in my Fancy Reds, but I won't hold my breath on that one. Youngsters can change a lot, so time will tell. nice shrimp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffhead Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 My guess is male.
