Blue Shrimps



Neocardina Blues- These guys were normally sold off as blue shrimps, with their color ranging from transparent grey to blue to black. Their stable color is usually bluish grey with black stripes! People always have a misconception that those blue ones bought from LFS are usually fed with blue enhancer or being dyed. The truth is that those very colored ones with dark bluish or black tone are the ones under severe stress. As such those who have bought them would have realised these guys are the ones that die off the fastest.

I have experienced crossing them for few generations and yet able to receive any good results thus far. Colors still remain dull grey to bluish. Though some females may shown off positive colors but generations after still remain as bad. Despite so, I have high hopes for them. One day hope i can acheive a stable blue color with few exceptions some of them as solid black piece.
