Fish36 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Hey guys! I have been breeding Red cherry shrimp for a while....and all of a sudden i have found one shrimp that is half whit half red! it is exactly split in half being red and white. I have never had any other shrimp and they are pure red cherry shrimp so i have no idea what else it could be?? I was wondering if anybody had heard of this before? I am not sure how to add pics so it would be awesome if i had some help there too then i can show u guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbreed 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Hey Fish36, Rilli (Cherry) Shrimp generally have patches of red over a clear (or blue tinge) base. The most common rilli pattern is for a full coloured head and tails with a clear mid section. There are reds (over clear or blue base), carbon (black over blue base), yellows, Sunkist lines being bred. Have not seen many half/half. May be worth trying to selective breed the characteristic into it's own line, as it sounds like a nice variation. Would be great to see an image when you can.

Bettarazzi 193 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Yes, lots of variations coming out of the cherries. What you have sounds interesting. I second the motion to try to fix that strain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninoid12 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 I'd love to see photos! You need to use a photo site like photobucket to put pictures on here. Then you paste the image link in the comments and hey presto there's a photo definitely try it as I'm sure a few of us would like to see your shrimpies :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
