You're thread is too hard to keep up with! Didn't even know you had got some RCS. Those both look like females to me.

Yeah I had them from when I got the other shrimp. Must of forgot to mention it. I thought maybe they were breeding or something.

Males will usually be less colorful, and smaller than the females.

Haha love it ... Can't wait till my shrimps get big enough to see I can only ever find a couple at a time here and there out of 40 in a 10g they must be really good hiders.

So far so good!! Cross my fingers. Lights are on for 6 hours and I do my weekly water changes 50%, except this time it went two weeks without one. Did one this morning.
