Yellow shrimp
Hi, I saw a topic with this same subject which was closed, I suppose because the author was inquiring about purchasing, but I would like to know more about them. "yellow" is not very specific when starting a search. I have heard that yellow betas are really red betas that lack the red. Are these shrimp a mutation of a cherry?

Thanks for the link. It does seem to be a color variation of a cherry, or, at the very least, a similar species. Hopefully they will hit the US hobby soon, but I won't hold my breath. The shrimp I would really like to see would be a S grade green crystal shrimp with the same colors as a green tree python. Can someone get started on that.

LOL If I had the $$$ to have some imported, I'd get started at different shrimp colonies. But, I just coughed up nearly $200 to upgrade my 30 gallon long planted tank. Maybe when I sell some more stuff, I'll start importing color mutations and what not and get some colonies going, but not right now.

Well, I am working on official licensing with the NFL, NCAA, NBA, and MLB. Once that is in place I'll be offering designer shrimp in all of your favorite team and school colors. That green and white shrimp you desire will soon be known as the NY Jets shrimp. . . .cro117 wrote:he shrimp I would really like to see would be a S grade green crystal shrimp with the same colors as a green tree python.

But seriously, it is going to be very neat to see what happens over the next decade or so in this hobby.

Other people would probly not like that idea, wanting to keep pure strains of shrimp in the market. I would like to say that gloshrimp would be pretty damn cool. Like glofish except shrimp. If they could do it to monkeys they could do it to shrimp. The only problem would be getting eggs injected with the jellyfish DNA because they are attached to the shrimp. But that wouldn't be too big a problem as long as the eggs taken are put near moving water, right? And think of all the glowing species! Glowing RCS, Glowing CRS, Glowing tigers, Glowing Macros, Glowing Red nose shrimp (If they can breed them). And the glowing gene will continue to show up in the offspring. I'm pretty sure it is a dominant trait. 1 Glowing shrimp to your shrimp population could result in batches of glowing shrimp (the glowing might be weaker though. Don't know much about genetics.)zwergkrebszuechter wrote:genetic engineering on shrimp?
