Blue Bolt Shrimp are captivating creatures boasting a mesmerizing blend of hues. Regular grade blue bolts showcase predominantly azure heads, complemented by a predominantly white body and tail adorned with hints of light blue. Conversely, mostly blue blue bolts flaunt a striking contrast of deep blue against pristine white, making them standout additions to any aquatic landscape, particularly those bedecked with verdant foliage. These enchanting crustaceans are classified as "mischlings," products of breeding between Crystal Red or Black Shrimp (in this instance, black) and Taiwan Bee Shrimp. The outcome is a spectacle of color, with Blue Bolt Shrimp displaying a spectrum of stunning blues ranging from regal to aquamarine, each imbued with its unique translucency. The pinnacle of perfection lies in high-grade specimens, where the azure pigment blankets the shrimp with remarkable opaqueness, eclipsing the markings of their lower-grade counterparts. While some may bear delicate white spotting, especially evident on their tails, their overall allure remains undiminished, captivating enthusiasts and aquarists alike with their ethereal beauty.
