what kind of shrimp is this? it's a cherry but blue form?

I've heard of blue cherries like that. Do you only have RCS in this tank?

Looks more like blue tigers

 

[africancichlidlovers]

i got blue tiger in my tank and it definitely does not look like them.

not orange eyes though. One of my wild tigers looks like the one on the right, but not as blue as the one on that the left, that one looks OEBT blue minus the OE. Maybe a OEBT breed with a normal/wild tiger? Get some of the body color in the first gen but no OE till crossed back?

 

[A.M. Aquatics]

The one to the right definitley looks like a neo to me. Any other pics?

 

[africancichlidlovers]

i used my camera phone for the pic, dont have a good camera. the right one has the same pattern on the head just like a cherry red but is blue-ish. and it definitely doesn't have any orange eye. it did came from a cherry red tank though. no tiger was in the tank.

that's the only clear shot from my camera phone

Blue cherry? Tha's very neat!

They are Tigers.

 

[A.M. Aquatics]

he said it came from a cherry only tank, with no tigers. I say its a blue cherry. look here:

according to that topic, they may just revert back to rcs later on.

 

[africancichlidlovers]

hmmm. i'll just have to wait and see

 

[studentclimber]

I have had blue cherries, as well as some that were almost black. They did not have that tiger like stripe pattern I see in the pic. Unless that is a photographic artifact from the angle of the shot. That is what they looked like body wise.

As to the OEBT without the OE genetics question. The OE trait is recessive, thus if they are bred with wild type they will lose the OE. Crossing them back, would bring them back in a about 1/4 of the offspring.

post 4 he said he has oebt but he doesnt think it looks liek them but post 7 he had none? both are possibilitys looks like tigers in my eyes

 

[africancichlidlovers]

I do have oebt but not with the blue unidentify shrimp.the unidentify shrimp was from the cherry shrimp tank. The pattern of the shrimp is the actual pattern.
