Is this a velvet cherry?

Hi All,

I was just topping up my tank in my study room and found this little guy. It's about 1-2mm. Is it a velvet?

Here's a pic of mum and possibly the dad.

Mum and Dad look like blue velvets so I reckon so :encouragement:

Wow very nice find looks like a blue velvet but that colour is very vivid

I believe blue velvet come from choc bloodline. But that is an outstanding shrimp in its own right, very much worthy of a selective breeding program!

Hi izzy, the pic of the mum looks like she's a snowball...is her saddle white ? or is it just the colour of the pic ?

That little shrimplet looks amazing & the parents aren't too bad either, well done :encouragement:

Cool. Thanks everyone. My problem is raising the young . Getting them to breed is the easy part for me. Getting them to survive is the hard part :(
