look between its legs... lol no seriously they are hermaphroditic

Yep! Some shrimps have male and females, but Skunk cleaners and peppermints +a few others are hermaphrodites. Meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs.

If you have 2 cleaners, they will both fertalise the others eggs. Then both carry eggs.

Cool eh!

Are Sexy Shrimps all female?

 

[mark97r6]

Sexy shrimps have seperate sexes. The males are of a much slender build and smaller.
Females are larger and the build is much chunkier/stockier.
