Selective breeding neo eye color


Ren

Recommended Posts

Just wondering has anyone ever come across a different eye color other than the black or pale tan on neos? It would be interesting to see possibly white, silver or red eyes like their bee counter parts. What are your guys thoughts and theories about eye color?

- Thanks Jon

But wouldn't lack of eye pigment impede vision causing the shrimp to be blind? Then again OE and silver eye Black Tigers have this mutation. Wasn't there a test to see if OE Tigers were blind or not?

Some say they are vision challenged, some say no.  Nobody has offered definitive proof one way or the other yet.

 

Blue eyed people can see as well as brown eyes.  Albinism affects vision.  We just are not sure what we are dealing with.

 

However to be honest, shrimp could be blind like cave shrimp, and still have no problems getting around.  Their safety, sense of smell and cane like antennae make seeing not that necessary to do well and thrive in our home environments.
