Shrimpscales Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I found an interesting new type of Taiwan bee in my tank. Only two so far. At first glance they look like a regular blue panda but on closer inspection you will see the blue is translucent like a carbon or blue dream neo. The white that is normally behind the blue is gone. Is this new or has anyone seen them before. They are really cool and stand out from the other shrimp.

Soothing Shrimp Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Interesting. Like a blue tinted skeleton, almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Interesting. Like a blue tinted skeleton, almost. Yes. That is exactly what they are like. The blue is actually better than it looks in the pictures. It really catches your eye. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hopefully one is male and one female so you can breed em together and see if you will get more like that. If you do you gotta sell me some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miwu Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've seen some pop up but they usually have their white fill in when they mature. I think this is happening with all the crosses with tigers and tibees (Taiwan bees that are produced from pintos and pinto mischlings that visually look like BKK's are simply sold as BKK's) so Taiwan bees are losing their thick, opaque colors. But who knows, with selective breeding, it can be a totally new direction to create other cool looking shrimps. mayphly, svetilda and colorfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I would have to agree with Miwu. I am sure this is do to the amount of cross breeding going on currently. For instance I am seeing quite a few Pandas with these nice blue outlines around their markings: I say if you like them so much, I am sure many others will and/or do as well, time to selectively breed them!

mbenjamin16 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I know, i thought about that but i just dont have the room for another breeding project. Maybe someone on here could take on the project for you Shrimpscales and keep you informed on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I might be good with that if anyone was interested. miwu, mbenjamin16, Soothing Shrimp and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
