PaigeIs Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Hello, My daughter came home from the LFS with three cherry shrimp. Based on the blurry photo, can anyone tell me if this is a female? I've only kept Amano shrimp so I never cared about sexing them. I looked up how to sex cherry shrimp online but am not confident in telling males and females apart. I can confidently say that this shrimp is bigger than the other two. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Need more HD photos, or upload a HD video to YouTube, and link here to the Forum. Females carry eggs that can typically be seen through their abdomen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you. If I look real fast it's a female. need an unobstructed view though. On 8/18/2023 at 11:25 AM, PaigeIs said: I've only kept Amano shrimp so I never cared about sexing them.

Much line amanos, the females are a lot larger than the males. Males always tend to be a bit more active and moving around the tank as well. Females typically graze more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
