Blue Crystal shrimp?

**Button** · 6th Jan 2011, 03:42

There was only Black bee's tank and recently several shrimps with different color have been discovered, the colors are from light blue and dark blue up to braun; all the shrimps with the wite tails. Here are some pictures below but the quality is not good but all we have

Do you have any ideas is it a really mutation of the Black Crystal or could be something else?

I guess you can try selective breeds them and have blue crystal colony. Good job!

Could it be another mutation same as wine red and BKK... It sure looks like them, just in blue colour

Thanks for your help, guys! Do you have any recommendations how to keep the dark blue ones?
Might be to breed them with other Black Crystals they been spring out?
Any suggesions about how to select a connubium simplex better?

Here are some more pictures of ones with other color:

I guess its best to keep those which has the same "blue~ness" and just let them breed together. Easier to refine the gene you wants.

bro , nice one.You can give a name like Blue King Kong or wine blue.Breed them and established them in the market and you will be famous.

Not a lot of blue shrimps in the market, if you can establish this line, i am sure it would sell like hotcakes.

Most of your BDS carry Black King Kong genes.

Great, thanks a lot!

Just been thinking...
What is the difference between Black daimond and BKK- is it only white dots on a tail? I thought the difference is if the white saddle presents over than white dots on tail it's a BKK, right?
