Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 How old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiru85 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 i just got them from my local fish shop. they are all around 1-1.3cm in size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 The 2nd one up looks fem, but at this size they can be real foolers. When they are closer to one inch (2.5cm) you'll be able to know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techsmith Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 As I was looking at this topic as I'm trying to get better with sexing shrimp also. I think 1-3 is Male and 4-5 are females. Looking through the responses looks like I agree Soothing Shrimp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 City could be correct on genders. Difficult to tell at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 City could be correct on genders. Difficult to tell at this stage. Yes sometime when you think it's male he can turn up female with eggs under the belly It's easier to guess the gender when they fully grown and if female had a babies in the past she will be much fatter underneath than males and other females who never had the babies.
