To my knowledge there are at least 3 green jade strains.  Let's hope you have one that is more true breeding than not!

Where were these 3 strains developed? There seems to be a handful of people working on this strain here in the US - I've seen some high quality specimens on facebook but they're not breeding true in high percentages yet it seems.

Am I the only one that has experienced this? I purchased from 2 different sources and the same thing happened. You're likely correct about the green being brought on by diet unfortunately...

This is what they looked like when I first got them:

This is what they looked like after 2 weeks:

I went back to the lfs where I purchased them and the ones left are even more washed out and pale now. Is this normal for this strain?!

Hi, new to dwarf shrimp and to this forum. I purchased some Jade Greens this summer from 2 different sources and none of them kept their colors - reverted to yellows. I do have offspring from them though and am curious to see how they will turn out.
