Jadenlea Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I ordered some shrimp from Shrimpscales this week and found this interesting looking guy in the bunch.... or maybe its a girl... I am going to call him/her "Rili Bolt" I tried to get the pic from different angles and then did a blow up... leo1234, Shrimpscales, Timothylem and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 The closer up pics are a bit deceiving.. what I see with the naked eye is in the last pic... the middle looks clear not brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Are those goldens? Looks like "skeleton" golden bee. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Skeleton. You should be pleased my friend. Skeleton tried catching on a while back, but it just was too far ahead of its time. Perhaps now is the right timing. Are you going to breed for it?

Jadenlea Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I am not really sure if he has goldens in his tank. I know he has pandas and blue bolts .... I ordered mischlings. Maybe he can answer if he follows the string. I would love to breed for it. I think it is super cool looking but I was under the impression that mischlings are so random in what they reproduce.

DETAquarium Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wow! Nice looking shrimp... what did you breed to get to that point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpscales Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here is a picture of what i am pretty sure is the mama. That shrimp came from a tank with mixed Taiwan bees and a few female mischings. The tank has produced many variations that look similar to that shrimp. Some have a red or blue tint to them that are very interesting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I did a little research on them.. it says that those skeleton goldens are great for bringing out deeper blues in blue bolts. apparently blue and white genes hold the same spot.. so it keeps the blue on blue bolts from getting as brilliant in the body.. however, if you have that gene without the white it allows the whole body of the bolt to be a much darker blue.. Hope I got that right. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have bought some high grade blue bolts a few times over the last couple years. Maybe skeleton goldens were used to produce them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have several more similar shrimp that should be ready to sell in a month or so. If you decide you want to try and start a line of skeleton golden shrimp let me know and i will try to help you out. It could be an interesting project if you have the time and space.

Jadenlea Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I will probably take you up on that ! I actually found a second one in the tank today. It is not quite as "clear" as the first one. One has a very clear middle.. the second one has a bit more brown in the middle. It makes me wonder if the pictures I took were of the two different shrimp without realizing it. I really really like them.

Roborep1 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm sure it's been said but I love that purple sand. The shrimp is pretty awesome too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Jadenlea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think the skeletons were used to breed the white out of the ghost crs which are like $$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiji64 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I like that skeleton pattern too. I got some blue bolts last year and am seeing the skeleton trait in a couple of the offspring. One has a golden tint and another a blue tint. I'd like to isolate them and see what kinds of variations come out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
