Reported original source stock

Reported actual crossing or selection sequence

First crossed Bloody Mary OE with Blue Jelly -> visually Red Rili offspring carrying OE per breeders; bred those back with Blue Jelly -> first Blue Jelly OE shrimp

Observed phenotype

Icy/light translucent blue body with orange eyes, low residual red pigment after selection

What author claims

Reported successive selection reduced residual rostral red; fish tank nutrition also affects body color

Measured brood counts

Not published

What remains uncertain

Breeders describe OE-heterozygosity concept but do not report allele markers or sample n; this is a documented source STOCK family only

Care, selection, authentication

Maintain lineage-specific stock labels, isolate genuine known mating pairs in a matured tank, document sex and source of each parent, hatch-date cohorts and scored F1/F2 offspring. Color and orange eye often segregate differently in breeder accounts. Record water parameters rather than assuming one eye-color gene governs body color.
