Here is a picture of my dead Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) I discovered this morning. On Friday night I found that my 50L planted tank had a clogged...
... The same reason shrimp turn red when cooked. It's due to the denaturing of protein which releases the red pigment astaxanthan. It has nothing to do with...
... Ah right. I didn't know that. I thought heat only caused that type of colour change. So it's been dead for some time then do you think? -- Stuart Halliday ...

Thanks for sharing Jim, always good to hear about new developments. I keep seeing auctions of CRS and in the photos CRS and CBS are intermixed in the same...
It would be awesome if they wouldn't intermix. I have CRS and CBS. Those are my favorite shrimp. I've seen shrimp that are kindof a brown and white, supposedly...

In my understanding. Crystal Red shrimp and crystal black shrimp would not be cross breeding as crystal reds would be a color mutation of bee or what would be...

There are a few sites out there with that info. Planet Inverts is one and I'm sure Shrimp now has one too. Kate ... From: Stuart Halliday <stuart@...>...
From what I've red yes they are basically the same shrimp but breeding reds to reds will typically keep your reds stronger and same with the blacks. Kate ... ...

I thought that I would clarify about the CRS/CBS. They are in fact the same shrimp not a cross bred. The CRS is a mutation of the CBS, not a cross bred shrimp....

In my opinion, if you mate an animal (or plant) with another from the same species that is not cross breeding but you may get mutations of different colors...
A hybrid is a cross between two different species, while the mating of varieties in the same species would not be considered a hybrid, but would be called by...
Hello, But say, using the dog example, we're crossing a poodle and a greyhound, different varieties, or, in dog speak, breeds. Isn't that one of the roots...
Hello, Hmmm...that implies CRS and CBS kept in the same enclosure and presumably interbreeding should not be called 'Crystal _____' anything but merely...

Hi Darrin, Correct. Caradina sp. 'Crystal Red' mating with Caradina sp. 'Crystal Black' would produce Caradina sp. However, if the offsprings were to be bred...
