If you shined a torch, the blue/colour will be more prominent. The blue's are around, but internationally regarded as culls. I don't personally mind them, and worth starting a breeding program for em.....perhaps put up a post for anyone else that have them and don't want them, and get a colony going ?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....just because it's not a well regarded colour internationally, doesn't mean it's not worth it's tank space. I would personally have a tank of Crystal Blue Shrimps...just need to selective breed the blue to make it more obvious etc.....there's a challenge and where the hobby gets fun ! I've been selective breeding my CBS (as I used to have the blue tinge CBS) for a while...otherwise I would have send them to ya.

I love my RCS tank, I'd never rid myself of them no matter how cheap they're or how easy they breed or how common they are. I love them and that's what matters.

If you like them, You like them.

Culling my CBS tanks, and found this beauty...really strong blue, with thick blue/white shell.....iPhone pic, & the blue isn't very obvious, but second pic shows it clearer with the CBS culls on the background...

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.
