Bongo Shrimp Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I recently bought a bunch of "blue dream" shrimp from my LFS and when I was acclimating them I noticed one was quite different than the others. I tried to research and I'd it myself and the closest I could come was maybe a black tiger with black eyes? It looks black in my pics but sometimes when I look at it in the right light it looks very dark blue. I also thought maybe it was just a really old, mature blue dream but I don't think so. The eyes look brighter in the pics but I was shining a flashlight at her. Without extra lighting the eyes are dark. manticore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo Shrimp Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks guys. So is it considered a rili? I want to make sure I separate her (and now maybe get some friends for her) so there is no interbreeding with the blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manticore Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 blue dreams and carbon rilis are related in selection (same ancestry). that is why you see this individual. it is a rili Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo Shrimp Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks again guys. Since it's related I guess I'll leave her in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allicat Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 You should try and breed for the eye color! She is pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
