You usually won't see much good bacteria colonies as they are growing which are recognized by slippery surfaces underwater. As the colony thickens enough to easily recognize then it starts to become mulm.

Regular YP will sometimes have a bluish hue when grown indoors or in lighting conditions other than regular outdoors in deeper waters with natural foods.
