Who did you order these from? I think the "low/regular grade" they were selling are their culls. Blue velvets aren't graded its either a sellable shrimp or culls.

I can't believe they sent shrimp that small, there's no way you can tell if the shrimp will be a cull or not at that size. Some people do anything to make a buck. At any rate it does look like you ended up with some good looking shrimp even though it sounds like you had to put up with allot of BS just to get them.

Oooh, nice looking shrimp. Thinking I need a few !

Hmm...well the shrimp have pretty nice color so I'm happy with that and there are some red rili shrimp in there to I'm pretty sure it's just that they are so small...about how long does it take for them to reach adulthood

Blue velvets were derived from Red Rilli so that's not surprising but they shouldn't be including those shrimp. when the babies hatch and release they are red for a few molts, I cull any shrimp that are still red or have red on them after a few weeks. Normally takes 3-5 weeks to reach adult hood if I remember right.

Oh ok thanks...it must be that they are still young then

 

[Mogurako]

Keep an eye on them, you don't want ones that display red after a few molts being able to breed with the general population.
