How can you tell if you have pregnant female RCS shrimp? I have several shrimp in my tank with beige patches on their backs that I never noticed before. Are these pregnant?

They are saddled and will soon be berried if all goes to plan.

Saddled? Berried?

 

[eklikewhoa]

Saddle is the patch you are seeing
Berried is when they are packing the eggs/"berries" underneath them.

cool. I've had these guys a little over a month and there are several saddled ones. They've all about tripled in size since arrival.
