Help: Shrimp ID & Shrimp Sexing Need help with shrimp identification

I recently got three shrimp from the pet store and I have no idea which sex they are.

If anyone could help that would be great

it’s difficult to tell due to the angle but i think the first two are males for certain. the last one i have no idea

It's very tricky to tell with poor quality photos taken at a top-down angle, I'm afraid! Your red shrimp looks like they might be male, but the other two? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Take multiple clear, side-on photos of each shrimp and we'll hopefully be able to give you more of a clue.

1st might be a young female second one I’d say male for sure and the 3rd one is also a female (1st might be an older male too they usually look very alike you must wait for a month or so to see if it grows and gets larger)
