Great pictures...however, here you see again the problem with common names for shirmp. These guys call all bumble bee shrimp "bee shrimp", they call some bee shrimp "diamond shrimp" and call other bee shrimp "bee shrimp."

Yea I noticed the difference too. Bee shrimp and Bumble bee shrimp probably get confused a lot
Did you happen to look at these groups of pictures

It looks like a lightly colored female. Note how the carapace hangs down past the fleshy part of the tail in the first picture.
Should we tell him that the 'tatoo' in the last shot is actually developing eggs?

I agree that's a female. And that last picture is not a Red Cherry shrimp at all...it's the new and exciting "Singapore Tattoo Shrimp!"

No wonder I can get my two cherries to mate...that are both females and I thought one was a male
