Golden eyed cherry shrimp

[lucasjiang]

Saw this cherry shrimp with golden eyes in my tank. It is the only one in the tank with golden eyes, the rest all have black eyes. Should be quite a rare occurance.

Not really, I get them from time to time

haha, because this is the first time i saw it so i thought quite rare. Did you try to selectively breed these golden eyed ones?

Nope, not cataract, its eyesight is ok, can swim and navigate well.

I like it. How many pieces do you have?

[lucasjiang]

Nope those are not golden eyes. Golden eyes looks rather bright yellow-orange. That piece you have that, I do see such shrimps in my tank too, and even wonder if it's blind.

If you look closely, it still has a black pupil in the middle, so i guess it can still see. Also it can find food by itself.
