Boy or Girl pt2

[CNgo2006]

Hi guys,

Didn't want to steal Rob's thread so started one of my own...

Here a few pics best I can do with the camera I got...the antenna is around 1and 1/3 body lengths...Been feeding blood worms and brine shrimp but no sign of a saddle developing

I'm just not sure??? What do you guys think???

[OzShrimp]

can you try get a close up pic full side on like the last one.

ATM would lean towards possible male but in the first pic sorter suggests female

[2OFUS]

Looks female to me mate

nice bluebolt aswell :)

[Squiggle]

Yeah I'm gonna go with female too, stunning looking Bluebolt :victorious:

[CNgo2006]

Fooled you guys it is just a SW with a bit of blue Krylon paint. LOL! I'm thinking it may be a girl as well but she just won't saddle up for me! Why, why won't she listen to me...WHY? I know patience is key right.

[BlueBolts]

Pretty sure she's a girl..... just be patient, as long as she's eating well, and getting a variety of foods, she'll soon make you proud I'm sure. Not sure whether it's the pics, but she's looking a little dull. Just check your WP, espacially TDS and GH.

I just turned the lights on so I can catch her when she is a bit transparent...WP are fine.

[2OFUS]

Althought I don't believe in using such products

maybe try the breeding liquid ???

I have not used it personally As I have not had trouble breeding

i have heard others have had success

i have also heard that some shrimp have died from excessive amounts added In a short time(he was a noob)

???

[BlueBolts]

I used to use the breeding liquid with great success, but don't anymore, especially with the more exotic shrimps. There are potential dangers/issues, with premature moulting, stress etc, if your female is not ready ...so just be weary of the risk. IMHO, if your WP is fine,just wait.

[CNgo2006]

Thanks for the suggestion but yeah I'd better not risk it...I'll just have to be patient. I haven't had her that long and she still looks a bit young.

[honcho]

i use benibachi breeding liquid on my TB's and it doesnt bother of harm them..

it doesnt seem to help them breed either..lol..

i do get to see them better when there running around crazy though

[Robert]

Im going to say it looks to be a girl. Also when you say antennas 1 1/3 body length, yyou are using the longest set? I like to judge mine using the sort curved upwards set.

[hoang1912]

I think all the liquid which state that helping breeding MIGHT be misleading. It make shrimp molting faster, make the male more exciting and swimming around.

That's what I know when I doing research AFTER buying Bw Dance....... Correct me if I am wrong :encouragement:

Yep the longest set, following what BB looks at...
