neocaridina davidi shrimp, Male or Female?

Hello I have recently purchased some Dream Blue Velvet Neo Shrimp . I purchased 7 and I’m not sure if they are all males or if they are too young to confirm their sex. The vender claims they ship young adults mostly ready for breeding. Please help me find out if I have any females or if they are too young to identify.

Thank you

Looks mostly males and maybe 2-3 females.

You can tell later on by looking at their saddle and if you see yellow then those are eggs before they are fertile. Females have a rounder belly and males are straight.

I took out a bright flash light in the middle of the night to check if any have saddles, I’ve found 2 out of 7 of the shrimp with this yellow coloring. Are these saddles or something else? Thanks

Yes those are females with eggs that have yet to be fertilized.
