EbiBunBun Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 So Santa came early, surprise Blue Dreams! Now I've got a bit of shrimp musical chairs going since they can't live with the pumpkins, or the ones coming. Oh boy! I'll post pics soon. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote
Crazyfishlady Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 HA! Love it and can't wait to see pics! Quote
EbiBunBun Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Posted December 19, 2014 These two decided to strike a pose for me. The rest are tiny and hard to see on the black sand. The hubs has been poking fun at me about how I am going to have so few shrimp in my tanks. He is such a sweet heart. Hopefully more will hang out where I can see them tomorrow. Quote
EbiBunBun Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Posted December 22, 2014 The new light for this tank finally arrived, I caught some shrimpy action. The very tiny ones seem to be more of a darker blue, the larger ones that came are lighter and have black spots, mostly a big spot on the head, nose and end of the tail. The glamour shots I've seen the Blue dreams don't have these marks. I'm not unhappy about it but am curious if this has to do with the genetics they carry. Quote
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Lots of blue neos look best as young juvies. As they grow, they tend to become lighter colored. EbiBunBun 1 Quote
Grammaknits02 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Still beautiful looking shrimp though!! EbiBunBun 1 Quote
EbiBunBun Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Posted December 27, 2014 Oh yes they are my pretty babies. I never thought I would be able to tell them apart in any way. I got another photo and they really are all blue. The spots are just super dark blue. Here's my two big mamas. I can see eggs inside both. But no actual berrying yet. (Is that even a word...) Quote
EbiBunBun Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 Well Big Mamma Jamma has gone on to the next life. I found her dead but no signs of anything bad, I guess old age. Everything in the tank params was normal. She was the more translucent one in the photo above. Spot is still around.=( Quote
Crazyfishlady Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 sorry to hear about big mamma it's always hard to peek into the tank and see that. EbiBunBun 1 Quote
