This shrimp finally moved to where I could take a photo. It's unique in my tank. It is dark brown with a wide yellow stripe down its back.

Sorry about the quality of the photo; my camera doesn't deal well taking photos through 10 mm glass.

That's a special iteration.

Is it a female?

I'm not sure. When I see it, it's usually on a leaf at the back of the tank where it's too far away to see clearly. When I took the photo I was too busy trying to get a decent shot to look at the shrimp properly

At it's size it pretty easy to have a good idea. If it has a Straight abdomen it's a male and Rounded is a female. Also the length of antenna is an indicator. the major difference is the second pleuron (2).

Is it a female?

I've just been doing a water change and the brown shrimp with the yellow stripe swam right past the front of the tank so I was able to have a good look.

Definitely female.
