Weird coloration to my Crs

[nasty12]

they are not BDS. their colour kinda morphed into wine reddish o.O

[eviltrain]

haha. maybe they got wine gene in them. lucky lucky.

[imke]

I agree with Alan: Your shrimps have the genetic disposal for Wine Red. Congrats!

[goody992828]

Wowee, that is a great news for you... cheers.

[eviltrain]

mosura red wine? or red wine mosura?

[silane]

hmm... it is not necessary to appear that red if has wine red genes. Moreover Nasty in MSN told me the intensified color appeared only these few days, so not genotype.

Does not look like wine red as it does not have red legs. Wine red has no maro so far.

Maybe a clearer picture will help.

i hope! but only happened like these few days..

i agree with you. thats why wanted to see if any other bro's ever encountered this situation before.

below are two of the darker coloured ones.

hi, nice one!!

congrates!!!

oh...... these color.... i think saw before.... the brown ones, when they grow big it will be reddish brown crs, is unique.

If these are bred in your tank and carry WR genes and you have 10 pieces of such, you will have, statistically 5 wine red.

Nice color pattern you got there.

Have you been feeding them anything different?

[newlife]

Bro....is your profile picture Blue Bolt Shrimp...???

[WiNd08]

Very beautiful! Personally I feel it could be a late expression of genotype, but no one can be exactly sure. If it's due to the food, or environmental changes we should see a batch-wide change. Yet again, phenotypic expressions still require the presence of the correct genotype + an environmental stressor.

Why not use these two pieces and do some selective breeding, who knows you'll get many Red Wines in the future!

[bettafantastic]

Very nice!
Does the colour wine red, applies to all grades? ( C ,B , A grade)

[silane]

Are the darkening of color spread to more shrimps, then not necessary a good thing, it maybe the once spreading Black Spots Disease in other part of the world.

There are 2 got this so far in Singapore.

[Limy]

Huh? Black Spot disease? how does it look like on shrimps?

[WiNd08]

And the above two cases mentioned by bro Silane are of mosura grades. Maybe interbreeding cause them to be susceptible to such disease due to weakening of genetics.

[cheetf]

Hopefully it's not like the disease that almost wiped out the guppies.

hi bro,

i have the same problem for a batch of new sss from a bro here stayed in jurong west.

i bought 10 from him and now left about 5. and the color super dark. sometime look like black color. some of my other crs also get affected and about 5 of them gone. 2 pcs day by day.. not sure what i can do.

water parameter very good:
GH:6
KH:4
PH:6.8

no copper.. nitrate nitrite all in good range.

so my conclusion is this is diseases

[Numbskull]

Try Shrimp Tonic??
