Buy themselves shrimps of different sexes of the corresponding age. The biggest difficulty is the determination of the sex of the shrimp. Cherries reach sexual maturity at the age of 3.5 months, and Caridina spp. green – 5 months. To determine their gender need to know many nuances, for example, both sexes of shrimp and Bees kind of Crystals of the same body shape. It only changes when you start to carry eggs for the first time. Besides, in the early stages of their eggs to see very difficult.
