Lyana Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Just wondering what everyone thinks about bkk jelly shrimp. Are they just black king kongs that are lacking something? Or do they stay that way? nuri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Currently I think the consensus of Blue Jelly TBs are they are just a poor quality BKK. Alot of time then your BKK are just born they can look blue or a dull black, which usually deteriorates over time and the black saturation becomes prevalent. I know a few that are attempting and have had success with breeding a type of "Blue Jelly", but I think for the mean time there isn't a stable line.

r45t4m4n Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I bought some "Blue Jelly", after a few weeks in my tank they are now BKK. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyers22 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I purchased some from Joes Aqua and they retained their "jelly" coloration. Only one darkened, but that's when she was berried and then she lightened back up. Wygglz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jledermann Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I bought some from joes about 2-3 weeks ago, they have slightly darkened but all are in good shape and have a blue-mint color, interesting shrimp for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm getting 4 from joes too, so we'll see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Keep us posted please! These are the only shrimp that take those water parameters that I want badly enough to consider doing another setup for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jledermann Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I moved a few BKK jelly to a tank and then added shadow pandas and cant tell the difference now. But the BKK jellys in the other tank are still very blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 So it seems two have turned black, or so dark blue I can't tell anymore, and one is still some blue. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrand Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Mine turned to panda coloration for a bit and now a shadow panda color after a recent molt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykidding Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 That would be cool if it kept its green. Also wygglz hopefully they find a way to keep the green color by the time you get the tank set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
