Got my blue pearl shrimps..

i hated hsi shrimps:(

bandaiban is also a great seller;) very nice blues;)
 
Considering you got them for about 80 cents each (I know with shipping it came to $2 each, but the buyer doesn't get that profit) I wouldn't be too surprised. The bluest shrimps have to be selectively bred, and that's a lot of trouble. I'm not certain about this, but I'd wager that shrimp that haven't been selectively bred are hardier than ones who have, the same way mutts don't usually have the breed issues of purebred dogs.

If you want to sell them, let me know :) It might be too cold to ship where you are (what state are you located?) but if not, perhaps we can work something out.
 
Heat is more a problem for shipping, cold not so much.

BP shrimp will show less color on a lighter substrate also. Try a dark, or black substrate for the best color.

Very old BP's will sometimes start to show a green shade, with the oldest becoming more of a yellowish.
 
I'm gonna move them all to another tank today since i'm gettin more shrimp and that tank has black graval so we'll see. Now i'm gonna have a hard time viewing my blue tigers in dark gravel. =/

Playtudes: i'll definitely let u know.
