    I notice in my batch of baby cherries that a few of them are greenish in color. My colleague's tank has some too. Anyone seen this behaviour before? I wonder what will they grow up to be like.

    The cherries were not ripe?

    Seriously... Maybe it is from the food there were eating? Anyway, shrimplets had not had the redness yet and thus may look greenish...

    Cherry shrimp are a bred strain of Neocaridina denticulata (a rather plain or olive green shrimp native to Taiwan). As with any human selected strain, it's quite common to have individuals in some batches that revert to their wild-type coloration.

    where did you hear from, budak? I was under the impression that cherries were collected wild in kwangtung province. must ask MrTree again.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    The Chinese population of N. denticulata is believed to be the result of introductions..... they have also been been found feral in Hawaii.... let me dig out the paper first....
