From regular OEBTs batch I purchased, Have been working on this selective project (since September last year) which I believe they are Blue Royal. Got some lost due to my lack of time but lucky enough, I managed to keep some in good condition.
congratulations...those look very much like Royal Blues. Once you get to the Royal Blue stage, they get denser in shell and you don't see the stripes as much.
they are actually have no stripes. From my experience They have very dark blue now reaching to adult age.
I got Some with Silver Eyes which I think they are pretty sWeEt!!
The second batch was born 3 weeks ago and I noticed some young already has developed blue.... I'm very addicted to blue color lately!!
Very nice shrimps.
I was never able to keep either OE blue tiger or OE Black tiger alive for very long. If you do not mind, please share what water parameters they are in and the substrate you use..... Greatly appreciated!
Here are some tips in order to keep them in great condition which it works well for me:
Tank must be very stable,
Active soil ADA
Use RO water, Ph around 6.6, Gh 8. Temp much be 20-21C (to prevent bacteria infestion)
Water must be clean in order to breed...
Here's an update of my latest selective Royal Blue shrimps.
As you can see adults are surround by babies born, most young babies have slightly blue cover already...
This is a my second batch, it's about 60 babies and more in this tank. Everyone is healthy and very active
My goal is to focus in quality as priority...
A quick update of my royal blue, just got back vacation. Many shrimplets were born, healthy and alive. They are growing, I rarely see any deaths. This tank is pretty mature, I dont maintain that much, just water change one a month...
Well here's An update few shots one of my favorites Royal Blue Tigers, I was out of country for a while. Now I came back they are still doing great, very strong and beautiful, quality. Never had any lost in this tank.
Got some time to setup my camera equipments. So they are better Quality than Phone shoots.
For those of you who wanted Quality shots, here are some Recent pics that I Took of my Royal Blue, they are my F5/F6, strong gene and healthy, breed pretty well and most are true...
