Soothing Shrimp Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 The red on is definitely fem, due to the angle in the 2nd photo she looks fem, too...but a better side view would help. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Still blurry, but looks like a fem from what I can make out. The wild in the back looks male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsparkys Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks for the help I have removed them was this the right thing keeping them in a gallon breeder till a family member gets them or untill my second tank has cycled Sent from my 7 Mozart using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Depends what your goal is. You mentioned red shrimp, so red x wild will eventually make all wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 yepper. you can start a whole colony from only one male. All it takes is one berry. However be sure you don't confuse males with juvies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
