Could be a blonde oebt, the eyes do look light to me.

Forumsnow · 02-04-2013, 09:55 AM

Yes it looks like either a blonde or a young oebt that has not colored up yet.

wicca27 · 02-04-2013, 04:45 PM

i dont think its a blond the body has blue pigment as well as the stripes. none of my blonds ever had a body look like that they were blond/orangy colored. i have some shrimp now that have blue tinted stripes but nothing like that. those are awsome. can i ask where you got them

Don't blonde tigers have a blue cast that one can see when lighted in a certain way or in a photo? (I don't have tigers)

wicca27 · 02-04-2013, 05:04 PM

mine never did. the blue on those reminds me of the blue jellies or the green on green hulk. the only pic i could find of my oebt with a blond in it bottom left corner

**Soothing Shrimp** · 02-04-2013, 05:33 PM

Nice shrimp. I see what you are saying about the blonde.

**ravensgate** · 02-04-2013, 06:45 PM

My blondes never had blue stripes either. That's a pretty slick looking shrimp

This is what happens when OEBT are mixed with Royal Blue Tigers. Here's mine... unfortunately I lost it a few weeks ago when I went on vacation... came back and couldn't find it anymore :*(.

Great lookin shrimp Sir!

Walked to my tank and one of my 3 blondes was at the front glass. This guy has more dark blue stripes but under the right light one of them looks similar to that.

Forumsnow · 02-04-2013, 08:10 PM

And looking at the two pictures now they are not very similar haha. Sorry for your loss speedy.

wicca27 · 02-04-2013, 08:18 PM

yeah that last shrimp pic is just a pail blue not a blond. i cant wait to get more oebt in a month or so lol

EKLiu · 02-04-2013, 08:18 PM

I have had two OEBTs sort of like that, with a clearish body and thin blue stripes. None made it to adulthood though. Hopefully that pattern will show up again.
