This is a quick overview and by quick I mean 15 minutes long. Of how red cherry shrimp and wild neocaridina shrimp have come to exist in so many different colors and patterns within the aquatic fish and invertebrate Hobby. I will be discussing selective breeding, natural mutations, evolution, camouflage, and the difference between different lineages.
What do those names actually mean at the pet store when you buy a shrimp? Buyer beware, a blue dream and a blue velvet shrimp are not the same thing genetically. Throw in blue topaz along with blue rilis and you're in a world of confusion. I hope to help you sort all this out thanks for watching!
