Yeah...it does. Speedie did say that colors ranged from blue to really dark blue to black and even dark brown. So I'll let it ride a bit and see what happens. Maybe if she gets knocked up she'll throw more blues. If so, I'll start culling the browns and then I'll culls blues from the cull tank as they appear and put them back in the blue tank...lol
No...one chocolate, the rest are blue or very dark blue. I just grabbed a few shots as posted above. The last two are the same shrimp. But speedie says they breed true, so if that is indeed the case, even the chocolate should throw blue babies.
Nahhh, once they have the curved belly they tend to hold it regardless of being berried or not as it expands for the next clutch. Just my opinion though
Not trying to talk smack by any means, think they are very nice looking shrimp, just an honest question. If they breed "true" how did there end up chocolate looking ones in the first place. In my head a blue shrimp that breeds true would only produce blue shrimp. Again not trying to be negative just trying to figure it out.
You're right. If they occasionally throw a chocolate, then they do not breed 100% true. Sort of like how orange eye blue tigers throw some blondes. I think the chocolates are attractive too, and I like blonde OEBT as well.
Personally, i think all neo need to be culls regularly to maintain quality.
Look at how long painted fire red been around.
Regardless, i'm still jealous. They are really pretty.
Wish i ordered them in time
Plus, i don't know why some people complain.
When chocolate first hit the market, i paid close to $20 each.
This guy look more solid, plus the blue hue, i think the current price is fine.
It's interesting to watch BD. They look like black tigers/royal blues roaming around my tank minus the sensitivity. Mine range for from dark brown to black to navy blue.
This one shows that there's some bluish tint...maybe more maroon, but it's in there. This is the "chocolate" female...
