Another confusion may arises from intensional or mistakenly call other blue shrimp species to be AURA blue.
Intensionally calling other species as Aura Blue is obvious, as this the only species that its blue can stay and breed true with very high percentage.

Good job bro! I was wondering if the saddle was that greenish part. Now confirmed!
Gc 1st batch I've 4 berried female after 2 weeks in 6.5-6.8 parameter gh is 5 more like a tiger parameter their eggs are light greenish. My tank was hit by chill wave cause my probe float up and the chill water went down to like 17'c when I came home at night. Only 1 female during that time release her shrimplet look like wild cherry form. I don't have a magnifying to see the colour but look like wild cherry form thru naked eyes. Before they can grow my chiller probe float happen. And none survive even the berried mama did not last long after the issue is correct. Not to mention my testing of creating Tibee all shrimplet wipe. Now is new batch I got from gc trying them again Crs parameter.
I try to dig for the blur berried photo later and try to upload. Sorry I have lost the pictures and could not upload now trying this new parameter to see they breed or not.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Im normally quite careless with my probe too...
What's a Tibee bro?
Tibee = xbreed Caridina aka tigers x Crs or tiger x bds etc
That's funky. Haha.
I just got another few from GC and made a few observations.
The sticker on the tank says 200TDS but I measured the bag water (taken from the tank) and it's about 150TDS.
The newly introduced AB were much darker and intense in color. It seems my remaining AB actually lost color (didn't occurred to me until I saw the 2 batches side by side).
I noticed 2 of my lost faded AB were not eating, there's no poo inside and they are not interested in food. I saw some of the shrimps fighting over food in the GC tank and others were uninterested as well. I wonder if they will starve to death?
I've thrown in a small piece of all the type of food I have. Hope they come eat after lights off.
This is what I meant by color fade.
New batch
Old batch
My AB also same as your older batch colour. I can't tell their sex. Bought 3. Hope I have a pair inside. Haha
Tonight will check again, hope the newer batch doesn't fade...
3 pcs abit risky bro, unless you know how to choose.
Trying not to be impulsive like I first started... Most shrimps died under my hands. Haha. Now I slow down my pace. Haha
Haha, thats a good policy bro.
Erm, now I look at the berried AB picture from Don90 (I'm also Don!, muwahaha!), his AB also quite faded.
Bro Ecalyte, any updates on your side?
No berried, but no more deaths either.. Still early days yet.
I dont think I can notice such a colour run as I have near black soil.. But I'll take pictures when I get home!
My old batch is much darker blue then the new batch. In fact it has gotten much darker blue since I got it. Thats the same for all my 4 old batch. They almost look black under dim light or when my lights are not on.
This is one of the new ones. All the new ones are around the same darkness as this.

This is one of the old batch. All 4 looks this dark in my tank.
Aura Old.jpg
A picture with CRS and my Oto to compare the colour. This Aura is my old batch.

What are your tank parameters? I think mine is a bit too acidic for them.. Only 5-6 are still very deep blue.. The rest are of a slightly lighter shade now.
My tank has been a constant 6.8 for many months now due to Ada Amazonia. KH is zero and GH is between 3/4. Temp was a constant 28 degrees but have since lowered it to 27 after addin in CRS for about 2 weeks now.
Hi Bro Ecalyte,
If you dont mind, can PM me the address of the farm in the East where I can get these Fire reds. Been looking for them Thought I want to start off my shrimp tank with good FRs.
