mrs shrimp.

hi , here is a (rather rubbish) photo of mrs shrimp . In your experienced opinions, would you say she is carrying babies? my eyesight is rubbish and my photography is worse! sorry x

In the photo I can't see any eggs, but that may be just me not looking at the photo properly (the shrimp also looks male to my eyes )
If you can see a lot of tiny balls sitting between the swimmerets under the abdomen, then she is carrying eggs. If there are no tiny balls, then she's not.

thank you, i'll watch her (or him!) carefully x

That is indeed a berried female.
