DETAquarium Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Mutation. Same way Taiwan Bees came about, and several other variations of shrimp. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Could be a wild throwback too. Are you able to get a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Looks like the wild form to me. Example of one of the variations of Neo Palmata Wild form You may want to start a small separate tank and move it and an opposite sex over to create the wild line. Many people are now starting to get into wild colored shrimp for their own beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I see, looked wild to me but I was a bit confused as I bred this shrimp times and times again and now I am seeing this shrimplet right after I placed some CRS in the tank with them for about 2 months now.

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Just random occurrence. Genes met up precisely in the right way to throw one. Happens in the best of lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
