These are among our most prized colonies, both for their exceptionally vibrant translucent blue and because they are the legacy of the late Chris Li, a respected hobbyist. As Chris Li has selectively bred them for at least 7+ years, we don’t know their origins. Note that these are not the same as Blue Dreams, Blue Diamonds, Blue Jelly, etc and thus should not be mixed if you wish to maintain their line. These are far more consistent than other selectively bred Blue shrimp, with a minority being culls. The deep blue coloration works well for light to tan/brown substrates with the green background for planted tanks.
