    If you get two there is a decent chance one will end up with eggs, or at least thats my experience with skunks and peppermints. I don't believe you can sex them. However, I have never heard of anyone ever successfully raising shrimp in captivity.

    Also, my experience with adding a second fire shrimp is that the first one ate it but I believe thats because the new one was a very weak specimen.

    If i was going to go for a pair i would add them at the same time and reduce the chances of that happening
