Blue Bumblebee

[cvillanueva21]

To my surprise, my yellow bumblebees spawned a blue one! He's about 1' now. Anyone have experience with them?

I USED TO HAVE BUMBLEBEES BUT THEY NEVER SPAAWNED PROPERLY FOR ME. ATE THE EGGS ONE TIME AND NEVER SPAWNED AGAIN BEFORE DYING. ANY PICS? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM. CONGRATS TO YOU!

Same here. The male I have is jet black, never seen a blue one.

Do you have kenyi in there with the bumbledee? Fairly certain that they will interbreed.

I TOTALLY AGREE. IN SOME LFS I OFTEN SEE THEM IN TANKS TOGETHER. WHETHER ITS BY MISTAKE OR NOT NOT SURE BUT ITS GOT TO BE TOUGH TRYING TO DISTINGUISH FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESNT KNOW. FUNNY THING IS WHEN THAT CUTE LIL BLUE KENYI MALE MATURES HE TURNS YELLOW LIKE THE BUMBLEBEE. NATURE AND ITS MANY MORPHS!
