NSinvert Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have a 10 gallon tank w/ all grades of BB and 1 female pinto and a female shadow panda. My female EBB was due any day now and as I was looking in my tank I saw her kicking vigorously on the sponge filter. Later on I checked in on her and noticed 1 baby shrimp on some moss. I’m just confused because this baby is an orangey yellow color and it looks to have stripes on its back. I took a video of it, curious to see what everyone thinks? The majority of my tank is BB with the exception of 3 shrimp. I have about 30 in there right now. IMG_2671.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSinvert Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 My pics are not the best but I wanted to show the difference in size between an adult shrimp and the shrimplette. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSinvert Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Could this be a pinto?? I’ve never seen a yellow pinto before? I was just expecting to see a mini BB not a striped Sunkist color baby?? The mother is a newer shrimp I’ve just recently bought. I purchased her w/ 25 BB shrimp almost 2 months ago. I put her in a breeder box with OERBT and another EBB. I wasn’t sure if my tiger shrimp was a male or not but my BB was a little older and definitely a male. I’ve sinced moved my tigers to another tank. Could my tiger be responsible for this babies color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVilleShrimps Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I have been looking into getting some "Chaos Blue Bolts" that are sold at http://buypetshrimp.com/chaos-bolts-10/ which I have read will throw some cool colors and patterns like the one you have (although rare). Super cool! Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
