gender/breeding?
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2014 8:51 am
hello, I'm new here!!
I started out with 4 RCS shrimp and I got 3 developed female and 1 juvenile female. I just bought 8 more and 5-6 of them have all the female features (bigger abdomen, saddle, etc.), but then I come across 2-3 that have male and female features ( a small saddle or what seems to be a saddle, but the abdomen doesn't cover the swimmeret). The problem is i can't tell by color because the new 8 are a low grade RCS/ snowballs. my question is how can you tell if they are male?
P.S: some have shed and no signs of breeding, so are they all female?
thanks
