mangisda Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ok im back. Few months back i had shrimp death due to my cousin fogging the adjacent room to my fish room. Almost gave up on shrimping but there were 4 baby blues left. They were from a mix of a lot of blue neos. Blue diamond, fantasy blue, and blue rilis. Now from the 4, i have almost a hundred, and the rilis seem to be lesser. And i have what seems to be blue dream velvets and blue diamonds. Please confirm my ID. Also its december, so Murray christmas to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RyeGuy411 and colorfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I can't help you ID those but isn't it amazing how shrimp can come back and flourish after seeming disaster? I'm in the same boat now with my super fire reds. They are on their way back from 30 originally down to 8 then 5 then babies and I'm probably around 30-40 after about 2-3 months.

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Phenotype is different from genotype. What looks the same, may not BE the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycat929 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I agree with soothing that they may all have muddy genetics now that they have interbred. Phenotypically, they look like blue diamonds. My blue diamonds don't throw as many of the browns as some people's do, but that is typical for blue diamonds. The bright blue ones can also be blue diamonds, as mine range from the color in my avatar to dark blue almost looking black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Crown Aquatic Trade Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well since the genetic is all mixed I would suggest you start culling the tank. Start breeding the blue, black, or brown ones and who knows you might get something surprising out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
