Crystal White Shrimp

From pictures on internet, they look like snowwhite. But after I see them in person, they do look more like crystal red shrimp with all colour removed. You can see what would be the red no-entry marking on the back except it's like white. The best description is an albino CRS.

BTOE

Got two of these yesterday, their colour put my OEBT, even the best ones, to shame !! In person they look black, but if you get a close look they look deeeeeeep blue. Very nice. Now I wish I had gotten more than two.

Finally...

These babies are more visible now and I even got a chance to take a few pictures. It's about 10 days after the drop, and they seem to grow very slow comparing to candy canes.

My triple split 40G

See the tank picture and design on my GTAA post below.

Link to GTAA thread.

Equipment:
40G Breeder tank x 1
Glass divider x 2
Tank lids (two pieces) x 1
Coralife 36" Dual T5NO light (6500K x 1, 6700K x1)

Filtration:
- Fluval 205 x 1 (connected to DIY UGF)
- Fluval slim 15 HOB x 2


Air: part of the output from a Tetra 100. (3 x airstones)

Substrate: 16L of Akadama, medium grain.


Opinions,
- Large amount of water in tank, water very stable.
- Space saving (comparing to 3 individual tanks)
- Water is pretty leveled (sec1 is about 1cm higher than sec2, sec2 1cm higher than sec3) with very good water exchange (tested).


Issues:
- Mistake using the medium grain Akadama, I wish I had at least use 1.25" of smaller grain substrate. The problem with this is that baby shrimps can actually "easily" get to the next section easily. The first CRS dropped the babies in this tank from sec3, and I ended up seeing at least 1 in sec1, 4 or 5 in sec2 LOL

What do I feed my shrimps?

Do you want to know? I have been experimenting a few things, and have some of my own opinions and suspicion on some common "believes".

So what do I feed them you ask? Tell me what you feed your shrimps first, I'll need to take some pictures before I post mine (which is a mess really)

Colours on OEBTs

What I find from my 3 months of keeping OEBTs,
- my tier 1 were all SUPER BLUE when I got them, but 1 or 2 turns almost colourless once in a while, the other keep in a very dark blue colour. Breeding hasn't started (I have had them just less than a month).

- My tier 2 shows the same behaviour. Some keep being blue, a few would change from very blue, light blue (like in the pictures in the post), or blondes. Some of them stay blondes all the time.

- When females are berried, they are likely to lose some blue, but when they are saddled and close to get berried, they become a dark colour and their backs turns almost chocolate, normally they get berried in a few days after that.

- Even their eyes can change colour. I see this on a berried OEBT, her eyes would trun from golden/orange to almost white, but never black.

- One of my berried OEBT turns red (the stripes), that makes it look almost like a red tiger with orange eyes. Not exaggerating here, if you see it, you WILL think it's a red tiger than an OEBT.


What I'm trying to find out
- Can selective breeding achieve stable colour?
- Can I actually get Royal Blue from OEBT x OE Black Tigers?
- What would happen when OEBT x red tiger? or OE Black Tiger x red tiger.
- What is the ratio like when blonde OEBT x blonde OEBT? (probably varies, but at least I want to know if at least I get 30% blue offspring?)
