                Very nice! We were eyeballing those, as well. Keep us updated, let us know how they do for you!

                  Nice color. I hope they keep it for you. The other blue variants I've seen lost their blue coloration after a while.

                      Yup. Neo. heteropoda. I'll be interested to see these after a couple generations.

                          Speedie is a very reputable seller and would be surprised if they were dyed. Not to say that it can't happen. I am sure that these questions were asked to his distributor and it seems he has a reliable distributor also.

                            They can lose color and it not be due to dyeing. Often the environment the shrimp come from or the food they eat there has some contributing factor to their coloration. Remove the shrimp from that environment and the successive generations may lose the color.
