I am haveing trouble finding info on Blue Mole Shrimp (not much info floating around google). Does anyone know much about these shrimp. I think I would like to raise them in the future but my research has not returned much other than their water ranges. What I would most like to know is how to determin their gender. From what I have seen they look similar to vampire shrimp but are blue? Not much info on them either. The one I have is about 3 inches long and is doing well in my tank. He eats in the evening and flys around the tank later in the evening. He looks like super man flying so I named him as such. He has some markings(spots) that could be used to determin gender?:scratch:

look up cameroon armoured shrimp, i believe thats another common name for that shrimp.
 
Thanks, I found some more info when I searched for the scientific name (Atyopsis gabonensis). It seems to have several common names. But still the only page I found that had reference to sexing them was This Page and it didn't describe what to look for, just where to look.
