Trust me, I am using both eyeballs. If you look at your own picture you will see that the eggs are actually the same color, blue amano or not, but the bluish body gives the eggs a different "hue." You might want to check out the following thread where I already discussed the blue Neocaridina:badflash wrote:Mustafa- You need to use eyballs in my tank then. The eggs are not the same color.

Don't the eggs look almost bluish to you? Well, they are not. And neither are the offspring, nor the eggs of the offspring. It's an illusion.
It's very easy to understand. Certain things that living organisms ingest can color them. Have you ever wondered why farm bred salmon are so pink? Food coloration (that's a fact...you can look it up all over the place on the internet). Why are flaminos pink in nature but lose that color in zoos if they are not fed food colorings? Why do babies become orange when they drink tons of carrot juice? The only difference with crustaceans is that the coloration can be permanently stored in their bodies instead of waning as with some other animals. Again, no mystery behind my reasoning. And again, if it's not hereditary then it's not "real." My "blue shrimp" offspring prove it. I don't know how I can explain this any more logically really.I understand what you are saying about the dye, but I can't see how that can work. In any event, too soon to count my shrimp before they are hatched.
