NeocaridinaPat Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I purchased 6 golden bees from a breeder that I have had good experience with in the past. When I got them they were so so tiny that to me they were just transparent. Fast forward a couple months and only 1 turned a golden color while all the others turned white, but now what's interesting is that about maybe 2 or 3 are getting a slight blue hue to them. I read that it could be stress, but none of my other shrimp are showing any signs of this. I don't even think that breeder sells blue bolt so I don't know if it could be some cross breeding that happened along the line. Any ideas?

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Snows will sometimes have a blue hue. I always thought it would be an interesting project to pick a snow hue and breed for intensity. NeocaridinaPat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrand Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have a white bee that turned a pink hue as it aged. It was stark white when young. Sounds similar to what you are experiencing. I wonder if tank conditions make a difference or if its just genetics. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
