Question re Peppermint Shrimp

I have tried to get a decent shot of one of my peppermint shrimp and she/it is usually in an area that I can't get a clear shot.

I have noticed that the underside (stomach) area is very white and protruding. I have tried researching this on the web to no avail. I was wondering if it could be a she and is pregnant, but everysite that I found said they are very unlikely to breed in captivity. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks, Joe! I have had peppermints in other tanks and have never seen this before. Go figure after 15 odd years in the hobby and you see something new everyday - LOL!
