Aura Blue Shrimps

[huizhong]

Same.. most of mine lost colour while only a few retain, and even those are fading slightly..

However, it's interesting to note that the stock at GC has definitely gotten much bluer than when they first came in. That's because I took all the deep blue that was there right when they were introduced into the tank, and with so little left.. I'm sure others would have picked the bluest ones too. The ones left that I saw were of the same deep blue that I would have definitely snapped up.

So the kind uncle allowed me to test the water.. and both tanks were at 7.0pH with 110-120 TDS. This was just yesterday. Suffice to say it's safe to assume their GH is around the 3-4 range given the TDS.

Anyways, my tank parameters now are
pH: 5.9-6.1
TDS: 128
Gh: 3
Temp: 24-25

Did u notice that the 2 tanks of aura blue side by side are different in color intensity? The one on the left, the AB are much bluer while those in the right tanks are very pale blue, like blue pearls.
When I bought my 3pcs that time, I scoope 2 from left and 1 from right tank. Still no actions. Haha

Thank you for sharing your test result on their water.
My TDS about 170-180, ph about 6.5-6.8. Mine lost a little of the blue, more visible on the tail part. Glad it is still blue when it is beside my blue pearls.

This is how they looked when I got them, my batch is the one before the present ones.

Will find time to take pictures of how they looked now.

This is how they looked now against the blue pearls.

Anyone has any progress of offsprings to share?

[Navanod]

1 of mine just got berried. But I'm not sure if the father is an Aura blue or a Blue bolt as I had them in the same tank

[RonWill]

Hmm.... Aura Bolts???

[avex30]

[Noobz]

My AB offspring looks like by pearl blue off spring so hard to differentiate which is which.

[huizhong]

Mine just got berried too. But they are mix with my crs! Gosh! Too late to separate! Haha

Mama released eggs. I believe I can almost confirm CRS crossing with AB. The shrimplets are not blue, more like brownish with white lines. I will post a video when they are bigger.. in a couple of weeks.

Anyone else can report their spawns? I'm sure a few bros would have their mamas releasing already by now right?

yeah yeah, do post up some pictures or video even better. I am very curious how those offsprings looks like.. it is going to be interesting..hehe

Wah you create mutation stain haha hope they got strong survivality.

My berried female disappeared while I was away for the week. Might be hiding or dead...need to search

[Ecalyte]

My female died while releasing eggs.. but the amount of cross in there would suggest that one or two of my female CRS has been impregnated by a male AB..

There are different colour shades.. some brown, some whitish, some slightly blue.. but I think this may just be due to the developing colours as they're still very small. I'll try to take a teaser video soon.. the markings on the back are much clearer now. If anyone can lend me the iPhone macro lens it'll be much appreciated. You guys can also see the cross up close and personal. I have about 20 of them..

Just uploaded.. remember, watch in HD.

Look out for the brownish shrimplet with white lines on the back of the body. I'm almost 90% sure that these are the CRS x AB cross as the amount of shrimplets there could not all have been from the one female AB. One or two of my CRS flowerheads must have contributed to it too..

Darker color soil and higher ph (not sub 5) get better color.

I missed this best Aura Blue I ever has:

very nice blue shrimp!!

[huizhong]
