I just got two red cherry shrimp, I'm not sure the sex of them. If they're both female, what are the chances that they are pregnant?

Really hard to tell by the picture but my educated guess would be females. I don't see a saddle on either ( hard to tell that too ) or if they are berried. Let me see if I can find a good picture of them saddled and berried so you can see what I am talking about.

Here's what my berried shrimp looked like:

Saddled - kind of hard to see with this lighting but the left shrimp has a light coloration on top

Oh okay I see the saddle. So if they have that slight yellow ness then it is a female. So then is this one a male?

I think this one is a female as well. Males have a slightly elongated body ( here's a picture, coloring may be different )
