The difference between Blue Bolts and Blue Steel shrimp

You may have heard of a blue bolt shrimp, as they are one of the more popular varieties of Taiwan bees in the shrimpkeeping hobby. Well today we want to talk about a couple of the hybridizations using the blue bolt, and how you could identify if you have a pure Taiwan bee or maybe one of the hybrids such as the blue steel or crazy blue shrimp.

[@Jdubswateringhole]

Good video Grant. Love that transition of the beard. Nice touch.

Thank you!

Red bolt vs red steal

[@thegardenofeder]

Maybe one day but it's basically the exact same situation

[@zoltan303stackin]

@@thegardenofeder ok I have a red blot but after watching the video I think it's more of a steal

The beard growing as the video goes is great. Love the added touch!

[@thegardenofeder]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching

[@fbasantajr]

Hi Grant, I love these short videos. See you and Shelby tonight during the live stream.

[@thegardenofeder]

Thanks Frank tonight should be a good one

[@fbasantajr]

@@thegardenofeder Grant/Shelby they always are.

[@thegardenofeder]

@Frank Basanta got a special surprise guest for tonight though....

[@jamiea9067]

LOL the beard growth

[@thegardenofeder]

What you laughing a boot

[@laszlotresanszki7262]

Awesome video
. Very informative.

[@thegardenofeder]

Thank you

[@SBoth_]

Are the blue steels good for breeding anything or just breeding steels together? I get some out of my boa line very rarely. Snow white tail, body, and very nice blue head with white dots.

[@thegardenofeder]

It really depends on their genetics. Some blue steels have crazy blue genes with traits to throw multiple colors that can be passed onto other crosses. Also you can get green pigments from steels as well.

[@SBoth_]

@@thegardenofeder okay cool info. Thanks

[@pecosR0B]

good to know they can change their color. when I first bought mine I didn't know you want more blue, I thought you wanted more white like crystal shrimp... yeah I'm a dumbass. anyway one of my BBs is almost completely white - I definitely remember NONE of my shrimp being that white.

[@InnocenceVVX]

Hey, if you like white more that's cool dude. I love totally white blue bolts.

[@Crystalspets]

I been looking into getting shrimp 🦐🦐

[@tgoeshelbykaye5252]

If you like blue a great starter into shrimp wild be blue diamond Neocaridina 😊

[@thegardenofeder]

Always here if you have any questions getting started

[@benjaminpeters3885]

lookin good grant...why does your beard continually change through the video?

[@tgoeshelbykaye5252]

😂😂 got to have some fun , glad you noticed

[@thegardenofeder]

It just grows fast it's kinda annoying

[@soundsofhistory5123]

This man grew a beard throughout the video look at the start anf then the end and he seems to have grown a mustche and bigger beard 😂

[@thegardenofeder]

Must have been a full moon

[@malekjohnson4268]

How do you make the ocean blue ones

[@thegardenofeder]

If you have crazy blues already they will comes from those

[@heidealbre1518]

Which are the larger shrimp to keep in the caradina family?

[@thegardenofeder]

Amanos?

[@heidealbre1518]

Thank you for your reply 🌻

[@frogs..fishmore5669]

Is the blue steel caridina or neocaridina? Thanks

[@thegardenofeder]

Caridina

[@InnocenceVVX]

This is good info. Im working on a blue bolt line aiming for extreme blue bolt with good coverage (still some white tails in the colony). Would you recommend aiming for a GH of 6 for this project?

[@thegardenofeder]

Yes I would

[@adailhorst]

Eder, thanks for this video. About BB... why normally we see some pieces of blue bolt together in purple metallic tanks ? What BB improve the purple ones ?

[@thegardenofeder]

More thank likely those are blue steel culls from the nanashi line that throws most of the purples in the hobby

[@adailhorst]

@@thegardenofeder Coool :D :D :D Very thank you for this information !

[@GROCK619]

Cheers

[@thegardenofeder]

Thank you!

[@superfasttortoise5366]

Is it possible to keep these types of Taiwan Bees (the more high end ones) in CO2 tanks?

[@thegardenofeder]

Yes however the co2 makes it more risky. Say you run out of co2 or you Gass to much and the ph swings you can lose them.
