Also endler most likely ate that shrimp. RIP.

Monster Fish, that would be expected. The BV mutation was lost in the RR and BR.
This is an interesting question the OP poses, however since one comes from chocolates, and the other from RR. I'm going to say that it all depends on where the blue is located in the genes.
Most of the time in shrimp we are dealing not with punnet squares, but weird stuff like co-dominants, co-recessives, etc And to be honest, because that stuff is super complicated, not many people have done research on color genes in shrimp.
I say there is a good chance of blue offspring. If one blue is dominant over the other, or if the two blue genes co-combine you wouldn't know it. It would still be blue.
My suggestion at this point is, what have you got to lose? You are down to your last shrimp anyway, and if you don't do this they may die out.
If you *do* do this, you will learn something either way. I say go for it, and report back to us so we can learn from your experimentation.
If they do turn out well and you decide to sell any later on, please mark them as BV x Blue Carbon crosses so as not to unintentionally muck up gene pools for anyone.

Really? Because I've never been able to get them to breed below 70F. The sweet spot seems to be 74 - 77. My yellows were always saddled, but never berried until I added a heater to their tank. Now the tank fluctuates between 74 and 76 and they seem quite happy. I'm watching a couple of little ones pick their way along the glass among a mine field of seed shrimp and daphnia right now
I have terrible Time with higher temps in my Shrimp tanks. I lost my whole blue pearl tanks. Now I keep it very cool. Like fonz cool....
