evilguppy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 What is differences between low grade blue pearl & white pearl? Both is Neocaridina cf. Zhangjiajiensis. I look up white pearl that have white saddle,white eggs. And i have blue pearl that is not blue. More like white pearl no blue color And saddle is dark,dark eggs. Will spinach change color? Some of them have little brownish color now. Because of spinach? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Too much spinach affects color weirdly in neos. You could have very well stated the reason for the brown coloration. However, the wild coloration is brownish, and if the brown is only in the head area- that's the guts you are seeing through the shell/tissue. White pearls will have white eggs.

OblongShrimp Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 blue pearls do have brown eggs so that would be why their saddle is brown. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilguppy Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thank you. Yes. Saddle & eggs is more Brown And shell is clear white. Vein & guts is brown and looks like brown tint on shell?. Ass long as shrimps are happy im good. They are flying everywhere like looking for female all the time.

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like they may have reverted to wild. As long as you (and the shrimp) are happy, that's what counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilguppy Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Astaxanthin make them light brown color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 In bp it may. I don't know about snowballs since they have absence of color to begin with. Someone should do that experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilguppy Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Food i feed contains astaxanthin. I wonder this makes them light brown or not. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I got 10 blue pearls from the auction in april and they never have bred or gotten berried. They are very large for even some of the adult ones, not sure why they havent bred yet. They have also started to get some red stripes across thier backs. Ill see if I can get a picture here later.
