yes they are
If I am right, those red shrimplets are actually wild cherry or rili... I have a batch of blue pearl which has already given birth to quite a number of shrimplets.. Based in what I see, there are many rili lookalike shrimps in that batch even when I made them breed pure, meaning I think they don't breed fully pure yet...Originally Posted by Kenng

Hi, I think you are referring to GC. Only GC sell the aura blue.
Colourful is the blue shrimps I posted.
The blue shrimps I bought are all females. Their shrimplets came out like yours, like cherry and rili and even some with blue and red colors. Definitely not pure yet as I suspect these blues ones are filtered and sold to singapore. Need to find some males to help with the breeding.
nope i'm sure the shop owner told me it's blue rili just came on that day and he only got 2 pack. And it looks the same as GC. And also at pasir ris farmway they also got it all sold out.
Sorry I am confused. One moment you mentioned Aura blue and the next you mentioned blue rili? So what are you referring to?
Colourful ones are blue rili, GC also have blue rili and they have aura blue in another tank. The intensity of the blues are different. I know as I had both.
Right now only aura blue shrimp will be able to retain it's colour when moving/changing tank and they are the only species that breed true. The rest, blue rili, blue pearl, blue cherry will not be able to. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can someone pm me how much is the aura blue that GC is selling for?
Both my blue rili and aura blues are able to retain their colours when moving or changing tank from what I see. The only problem is the breeding. I seems to have all females as they all have the saddles. And the offsprings from the blue rili is mainly red rili and very little blues.
I think mine is the blue rili as i seen quite a number of red rili lookalike after giving birth. As for the blue aura it's a bit difficult to tell the difference between the two. Sorry if i mixed up the 2 as i thought the blue rili is blue aura only from a different supplier.
Blue rilli s in those blue cherry look-a-likes just with the middle portion being transparent?
nowadays i see shops selling red rillis, the shrimp itself looks like a deform version of cherries, only with their middle part on the top of saddle being translucent.
They were once sold as culls before the term rilli shrimps come about.
Real rilli shrimp comes with very, very distinctive line between the red and the transparent portion. IMO thats what you call a rilli.
The only time i saw this kind of rilli shrimps were during aquarama, where rilli shrimp was displayed, later on brought by uncle richard to his shop (Colourful), being kept in the tank located at the back part of his shop.
The vietnam shipment by GC were also nice as well.

The blue rili I had is pretty blue throughout with no transparent part in the middle. If looked like the one I had pasted the link.Blue rilli s in those blue cherry look-a-likes just with the middle portion being transparent?

Putting the blues I bought from colourful vs the aura blues I bought from GC. The more intensive blue is the Aura blue.

the one you got at colourful are blue pearl?
i dont think there is any real blue rilli shrimp for sale in singapore at the moment.
Havent seen any around.

At first I thought they are blue pearls too but the uncle corrected me saying they are not and they came from Taiwan. Next I see the off-springs to contain red rili and a few blues looking like the 1st one in this link with the tint red.

Likely they are not pure blue rili but culls or mix of it.

this is what i would call a blue rilli.
the photos you shown are blue cherries/rilli shrimp with a blue tint imo.
they are belong to the same family is i'm not wrong except aura blue.
Thus, names given to different shrimps based on appearance are just similar to the grading of the red variants eg, cherry, sakura, fire red so on.
correct me if i'm wrong.
Zack
Anyway, Full blue rilli will never be sold at the price that uncle richard is selling at this point of time.
What you might have gotten is Neocaridina species with rilli/blue gens. which is cull shrimp from taiwan side.
Zack
What I like is the blue genes. Hope to refine it to stream down the rili genes and enhance the blues.
Hopefully I can find some real blue pearls and add them to my tank.
One of my Aura blue got berried but don't know which male got it done. Other Aura blues that I thought are females or offsprings of the lighter blues. Excited to see how the shrimplets turn out.
