It's official! Aura blue shrimp!

[jiang604]

I wasn't going to post this until much later. However I'd like to share this and once it is official will link the official name over here. This shrimp in the market has been known as fire blue. However because there is too much confusion of it being related to cherries hence the name fire red or painted fire reds. A change in name must be made. I have been given the opportunity to rename the shrimp and have given it a lot of thought and finally decided on an appropriate name. The name of the shrimp should be Aura Blue Shrimp (炫藍蝦). The Chinese name was also given a lot of thought to and was specifically chosen for what it meant. The name is going to be processed through the originator of this shrimp before being finalized and made official.

that's pretty amazing, was that a hybrid that you created or you just got the opportunity to name them?

its not a hybrid but a new strain of shrimp. And I just got the opportunity to rename it and will be official most likely tonight once the discoverer/originator of this shrimp approves the Chinese name.

so is it a variant of the cherry shrimp?

[neven]

variant of the blue pearl if im correct, i've noticed it on the shrimp lab US store and been mulling over stocking them eventually :P

[jiang604]

nope its a new strain, not a mutation nor a morph of a cherry or a blue pearl. It's newly discovered.(well not exactly, its been known for well over a year I would approximate)
