Hi, any idea on the sex of my 4 shrimp please? I wonder if the red one is berried but can't be sure as she is hiding (I say 'she' as it's the only one I can see a saddle on). Thanks!

First 3 are male, red is a female but I don’t she’s berried
 
First picture (yellow shrimp) on left looks male, shrimp on right looks female.

Can't tell anything in 2nd picture.

Third picture, red shrimp is female

Female shrimp have bigger tails (where the pleopods/ swimmerets are) from a height perspective. From the underside of the tail to the top is bigger in females and smaller in males. This is designed to provide them with some protection on the sides when carrying eggs.
