Here's a fuzzy pic of the bluest blue I've had so far. The color here is true (at least on my monitor).

It is blue pearl? It's interesting color, very light.
Look at mine blue pearls here: Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis var. blue shrimp

yep, sure is. Yours have a much more distinct red stripe pattern. Here's a different pic of one that looks a bit more similar to yours in coloration.

How are your Cardinals doing? I see them on your site...

Awesome tank and great close-ups of the shrimp!

An update! The tank is going great. I've sent out 7 shipments this year with 1 more pending. I'll probably let the population regrow a bit over the hottest months of the summer before resuming selling from the tank in the fall.
It's amazing what a stable and productive population of these guys can flourish in just a low-tech, mostly ignored 10g.
I've yanked the moss off the top of the wood to see if it'll grow attached to it a bit better. It was looking nice on top, but rough underneath, so I'm sort of starting over there.

Blue and some malawas:

Picking at the wood:

A nice looking blue:

Thanks for looking!
