Which Wine Red Shrimp Pattern do you prefer?

Which Wine Red Shrimp Pattern do you prefer?

WR A (has large white bars on red)

WR B (most of the surface is red, with small patches of white)

I like B because it's like cross bred with sakura. Imagine monster red sakura (Spid's sakura shrimp) with very good white patch.

Hi,
these shrimps are no cross-breeds with Sakura shrimps (Neocaridina heteropoda var.). Caridina and Neocaridina species have important morphological differences and so there are no hybrids. Even if they would cross-breed, the result would be a brown-grey shrimp and no red one.

personally i prefer the wrB because we know the selective breeding processes it has to go through. from my interaction with the public and friends i have found that 1st timers (at 1st sight) they prefer the bumble bee, and many say its so 'cute'

WR A just looks like a 'slightly modified' CRS to me

Hey silane, Isn't the WR B already has a name called "Red Ruby"? One of my favorite shrimp when you 1st intro them

Yes it is... just want to see people prefer which pattern.

**Spid** · 23rd Dec 2008, 15:27

WRA looks better.

Bro Silane, are the white so thick for every pieces of wine red?

**silane** · 24th Dec 2008, 00:56

Yes, every piece is of this thickness.

**Spid** · 25th Dec 2008, 18:09

Woa. Any chances you have outcross to CRS?

Will their colors be affected by water parameters?

**silane** · 25th Dec 2008, 23:34

Water parameter has little effect on the color, it is alway that thick. But if water parameter is so bad that make a Wine Red sick, that is anotehr matter.

The trend haven't change, you can still enjoying keeping CRS for the next 3 years I guess. The available stocks and the price for wine red make it harder to access for most hobbyist.

I like WRB. It looks so intense from an aesthetic point of view

**acit** · 27th Feb 2009, 11:41

If I have to choose between A and B, I will take B.
What happened to all the King Kongs??
I haven't seen them in any shops yet.
Red Ruby/Wine I have seen at least one before.

For King Kong and Panda, it was very much wanted from start, they have no chance to end up in shops, most of the time, they are reserved and now I heard, selling size is as small as 0.5cm and there are many willing buyers to grab. The demand of Wine red has shot up too. Of course, this is not happening in Singapore, I suspect those who has these type of shrimps for sales, will find the way directly to Japan breeders tanks and no chance to show up in LFS. Which local FS dare to live display such high price shrimps forseeing no buyers?

Here is the only LFS selling in Singapore:

If I may ask....where should I post my shrimp photo if I want to sell them to Japan.

I have a little red wine .... would love to get some money for it he he he

Please forgive me if this question is inappropriate.

I am not too sure, that why I use the word "suspect".

**acit** · 28th Feb 2009, 08:07

Maybe I need to learn some Japanese

Then can surf some Japanese website.
