BeetleNerd Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 About a month or so I purchased a berried golden bee from a lfs that was in a tank with snow whites. I assume the father was either another golden bee or snow white but I have no idea about the lines these shrimp came from. She only had a small clutch 10-15 eggs, most were orange except 4 were dark almost black. After some reading, some comments suggested that black eggs could indicate they could hatch taiwan bees. The shrimplets are now 12 days old and I've spotted at least 2 with blue carapaces. Could these actually be blue bolts or will the blue fade as they age? Either way they're pretty cute, and I hope some end up having the peach tinge the mother has. Can't wait to watch them all grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 It could be a golden bee, that bred with a Taiwan Bee. Or it could be a Golden bee with bred with another golden bee (with mischlings genetics in there). Or it could be a Red Bolt which comes from Taiwan bees.

BeetleNerd Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yeah, I assumed she has some mischling genes somewhere in her line but never considered the possiblity she could be a red bolt. I'll probably never find out other than guessing from how her offspring turn out but I hope her blue babies are blue bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
