CBS mutation or just bad genes?
I found this little guy today, usually my young CBS are very colorful.

That's something I would cull. It may be young though, how big is it ATM?

Isn't that a wild bee shrimp? It's more like a recessive gene of CBS

Its a young CBS (about 4mm). I don't think is stressed, there is at least 100 babies in that tank, and thiis one is the only one with that color. But again it could be bad genes=bad health=*stress (mordalphus point) or a will bee (CM point)... I like the wild bee theory better :P

Wild bee is a different species.

You don't have any bumblebee shrimp in that tank do you?

I saw a wild bee like that with a light blue color in a fully established tank. But I have also seen wild bees exhibit that color in stress at an auction. Whatever it is, if it were a wild bee, I like the blueish color

My water parameters and temperature are perfect, so I'm discarding stress (at least water related). This is a young guy probably a month old, it's the only one that looks like that and everybody else looks healthy. I just think its no the most attractive shrimp in the tank now, but lets see what happens when it gets older |

I spotted this guy again today, it seems a bit more colorful.
