Blue shrimp

[Clif]

Heard from a friend that the colour of the blue shrimp will fade n not last long.
Is it true?
Anyone got same experience to share?

Thanks.

I am suspecting that those blue shrimps are just normal malayan shrimp which have turned blue because of either the diet or the water conditions.

I ever have batches of malayans that comes in different colours including blue.

Me too, had 1 white is pearl white in color and another orange *live one, not the kind of orange color you see on dead shrimps*

Previously bought some blue shrimps too, occassionally I still see one of them (still blue color) in my tank, has been around 1month+ already.

my blue shrimps remained blue throughout its lifespan. even after it has successfully bred and now the younger generation is blue also.

i bought them at c328. 10 for $7. the whole bag is blue shrimps.

what I previously bought as blue shrimp is different from malayan. malayan have small eggs, blue shrimp have huge eggs.
