Shrimp 2 of 2 pregnant!!!

[Luis]

Can it be possible?

I have only two shrimp (lysmata amboinensis) and yesterday I saw that one of them was carrying eggs which is normal but this morning I saw the other with eggs too. I have them since January and they had not have contact with any male. Can they be hermaphrodites? I've read shrimp are not that but that's the only explanation..... right?

I know, sounds crazy, but I have them in my tank 8O

One plays the 'mom' When she releases her eggs, she gets to play the 'dad'
