Cappie49 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Been a while since I posted but put a few pics on showing a chocolate coloured TB, usually pandas popping up in my tank. I isolated a few but the project failed after a heater stuck on. Anyway trimmed a load of plants out original tank on Saturday as it was really over grown and a bit neglected if im honest and noticed these two tonight. Blue bolts with brown rusty/ mottled heads. A chocolate panda is on the left hand side of pics. Appreciate any insights into what they are if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I would be careful jumping to them classified as Steel Blue simply because authentic Steel Blue line take quite a bit of time and selective breeding. A lot of Blue Bolts I have noticed may have darker heads than bodies or vice versa. Looks like you just have a special coloration that you could as you stated selectively breed out.

Shrimple minded Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Does the shadow panda on the far right of pic 1 have shell deformities or am I seeing something on the glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I agree with DET. Steels don't just pop out of normal BB's they require selective breeding with specific crossings. The coloration change can be a number of things: - Age - Water quality - Foods - Minerals in the water - Stress - Breeding It's not always a simple clear cut reason why shrimps react the way they do.

Cappie49 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks for the replys. Never noticed any shell deformities. Lens on phone camera smashed off too. These been going for a few year now. Original stock were KKxTT around 8 I think and 2 OEBT. Then BBs added and pandas. Get a lot of fish bones popping up. No selective breeding basically just let them get on with it. Tried to isolate the brown but failed as mentioned above. Not claiming steels or anything special just thought I'd ask. I'll try for clearer pics and some of others in tank. Thanks again JLineShrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
