Hi guys

Is it common to have bee shrimps in blue color? Imagine bee shrimp. The black part on the body is aura blue. So is like white and blue body with a little black. Haha. I just got some. Those who are interested for the photo can whatsapp me. No worry I am not selling cause i am trying to rear it to see if they are true blue.

Anyone got these shrimps before as it look to me like dyed blue on their body.

Are they still in stress? Or they are already bluish black in LFS tank?

Ok i felt very very embarrassed after eviltrain clarify with me that they are vietnam bee shrimp just that they are in shocked and turn blue .. So Ya .. I thought i could share a few new shrimps for some bros here ...

I notice their eyes were orange so i will think that if they cross breed with tiger shrimps, it may give them the orange eyes . Am i right ?

oh ok .. so why do they displayed red, blue and pale ...Like some were very pale like yamato .. some were red like deep red .. and some blue? does it mean that they have blue, red strain in their body ?

Bumble bee what you bought.

Er, normal color variations that they might display when shocked by either concentrating their pigmentation into smaller areas or diffusing them over larger areas on their "shell-skin" I think. Correct me if I am wrong.

Today i checked their colour .. They still have blue colour on their body

Good to hear ^^ It'll be nice if some or all of them retain the blue! Then when the offspring comes we can get some heehee...

Hi guys

To update. The shrimps in the selected tank seemed to remain their colours. It has been 4 days since they are in the tanks . Eating well. I mixed them with tiger shrimps with blue or dark strips to see if there is any possibility of a blue shrimps. These shrimps have orange eyes and one of them had solid white and blue body. I gave some not very obvious blue shrimps and very deep red bee shrimps to a brother on AQ. Shall hope that i can share more finding or babies with the Bros here .

Sorry that is the best i could take with my phone .

Blue brown bee..

These were previously in my tank.. They never grow bigger then 1.5cm..
Guess those are not blue brown bee and more to be like what other fellow shrimpers mentioned to be Princess Bee or Bumble Bee..
