white saddle on a blue velvet

[michael]

might be wishful thinking but i see a white saddle in this blue velvet. I thought snowballs came fromanother type of shrimp not a velvet. Correct me if im wrong but im loving seeing that colour saddle.

[Squiggle]

Unfortunately I don't think it is, snowballs are completely different shrimp & they are the same as pearl blue, not blue velvet's. :dejection: Blue velvet's are Neocaridina Hetropoda(Davidi) & the pearl blues/snowballs are Neocaridina Zhangjiajiensis. Sorry to burst your bubble dude.

Thanks squiggle i was pretty sure that was the case anyway. So no bubble burst. I still think it will be interesting to see what comes from breeding her.

[Squiggle]

I have to agree, it's always interesting to see what curve balls nature throws at us! :encouragement:

[Squiggle]

Woops, double post! :dejection:

[michael]

True just need to work out what to put with her. Any suggestions. I am thinking might be cool to try to find a colour simmilar to the blue Pearl.

[Squiggle]

If it was me, I would probably put it with a black to make the blue more deeper & more solid, but that's just me! :encouragement:

michael my blacks look a deep blue when put on a white back ground- will show you when you come round. thanks for the idea Squiggs i may try that with a blue velvet and see if i get any darker blue.:encouragement:

[Squiggle]

Pleasure! :victorious:

Thanks for sharing Michael, keen to see the development of colour of the saddle to berried. Please keep us posted

[michael]

Thanks blue bolt it does look like a white saddle to me. Id love to put her with a snowball male to see if the eggs would be white

Snowballs are hard to get nowadays. Still very rare species :) good luck Michael
