Jcstomp Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I recently posted in introduction but wanted to get some insight on recent shrimp babies that I have. Only male deep blue in tank have three shrimps berried females, two red galaxy pinto and one steel blue. They have had their first batch. Do I have blue bolt pinto or? Some have pinto pattern but blue in color. Have not seen any red babies though I recently fixed a high flow issue and might have lost some do to the high flow. Was curious since I couldnt find any blue pinto shrimp while resesrching. Thank you and appreciate any insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpshrimper Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 In my experience that blue will turn to black as the shrimp gets older. Shrimp Life, Jcstomp and Shrimporama 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcstomp Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thats interesting. There are some a darker more grayish blue and some are bright blue. After more research, I have seen those post of the blue or purple. Is there any info on how to get those cross breeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcstomp Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Just wanted to give an update on a few selected gen1 I have in a seperate setup. I have 3 generations now in my main from my red galaxy pinto x Deep blue bolt project to make blue galaxy pintos. So far gen1 about 60% turned dark almost black like but still blue tint and the other 40% are really nice blue which are the one I have selected. I got a new deep blue bolt to breed with the ones I selected to try and strengthen the blue. Shrimporama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverStuff Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Wow, these are beautiful. Keep going with this so I can buy some ❤️ Jcstomp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcstomp Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thank you EverStuff. I am excited for this project to work out and have a strong blue galaxy pinto strain. Ill make sure you get first dibs👍. It looks like my new deep bb might be female so once shes berried and has her fry, I will be auctioning off a few of the fry. Id say prob in about 4 months. Also will start auctioning the other fry from main tank soon. EverStuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DressedToKrill Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Glad to see that this actually produces blues. Was thinking of trying it myself soon. Looking forward to more updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoagland Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I would be interested in some of those once you get a colony going too. Beautiful! Jcstomp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeAsianBooty Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Some of them have clear legs. I know their young, but if you could pick up that trait along with others, it will might it worth while Jcstomp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0adman Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Wow, those are great. I’d definitely be interested in some as well, or might have to try a breeding project of my own. Anyway, definitely let’s us know if there are any updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleeon Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 hello, I am interesting to know about this project, or maybe anyone have some strain like that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsarereallycool Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 One breed that is similar is the blue jelly Caridina (not to be confused with blue jelly Neocaridina). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
