Hi,

From the look of the picture, I think it is a de-coloured panda.

Looks like male too.

Hi bro.. I got this shrimps before by cross breed BDS and SW(blueblot genes). I have 4 of this.. 3 like panda and 1 piece mosura.. Uou can view them at my blog.. Nice work... Haha.. But for mine after awhile they died as they have unstable genes

This shrimp looks like a de-coloration panda shrimp.

Interesting question. What you buy it as?

[avex30]

Bought from market or Lfs?

[Navanod]

The picture quality leaves much to be desired
However, from the tail patterns and how solid the white is, it is more likely to be a Panda/BKK than a BDS.

From home breeder .

but to be frank it is most likely a so called QC fail bkk correct me if im wrong

[Matt]

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is how I differentiate KKs and BDS. All you need to look for is the Rostrum and antennule. They should be at least 90% in black if not 100%. For BDS, most of the time, they will be the opposite, 90% white if not without colour pigments.

Can you take a clearer picture? Also how long after you bought the shrimps before you took these photos. What did the seller say when you referred the pictures back to him?

[alvinchan80]

It looks like a KK panda which is considered 'cull' but some prized them as 'green hulk'...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. Maybe seller consider them as high grades due to rarity.. Hard to account for how we each feel for it..

Sorry bro , I am using IPhone to take the picture .I bought them in the afternoon , release them in the evening . When I get back to him he told me is due to stress will recover in a couple of days . I took the picture last night and was the 4th day .

Please do not start a kk war again. Lol although deep down in my heart don't mind. Your water parameters, how the shrimps are transported back to your place are all factors leading to decolouration of the shrimp, especially kk and wr.

If you have seen them good in breeder's tank, then there is no issue on the breeder's side.

Did the HIGH GRADE BKK PANDA come with a high grade price?
