I need help figuring out the genders of my shrimps. How do you tell the difference between male and females? I read that male are lighter in color and females have a saddle. But my blue shrimp which is lighter in color but appears to have a saddle. Or is that just its intestines?

Picture 1,2,4 are females, picture 3 also looks like a female to me but not too clear from picture.The yellow behind there heads is the saddle, this can also be green, females r generally bigger then males. some males can be just as bright as females depending on grade of the shrimp
