I'd like to say male but can't see the full length of the antennae :confused:

I am with Squiggle. Looks like a male Ace. I am saying that because the belly looks concave. But i could be wrong, TBs are abit harder to sex then normal CRS and CBS.

Beautiful looking shrimp you got there Ace.

How far past does the antenna extend past the tail ?

Yes it extend past the tail.

I think it's impossible to know at this stage. It's a 50/50 chance. Most experience breeders I know often get it wrong when untill the shrimps is berried.

Im leaning towards a girl

the underbody does not look straight or sharp enough

Garry has a good eye for determining shrimp sex. When I bought my first shrimp off him 6 months ago he said he was sure he picked a female sss. When I met him and saw the shrimp it was only about 8mm. 3 months later sure enough it was a female. Good eyes Garry!

The underbody looks different from my male so it could be female.

BB- its few mm over. but not half the body length.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
