Mutation or grand parents?

[Citycode01]

I'm keeping red cherries shrimps for about 6 months and found two or tree yellow baby shrimps in my shrimp tank from hundreds of red cherries babies, never had yellow shrimps before only red cherries in that tank, I also have few red rilli shrimps in the same tank.

Question for experienced breeders - are they some kind of mutation or maybe some of my cherries are offspring of cross breeding yellow and red shrimps? I'm just about to buy 10-15 yellow sakura shrimps for another shrimp tank can I put that my yellow shrimps together with yellow sakura or better not to?

Thanks

Personally I'd take those 3 and breed them alone, I wouldn't mix them with a pure yellow gene, unless you did it in a breeder box but you don't want them to ruin your colony

I agree with garden.  You don't know what these shrimp are capable of yet, and you don't want to mix in any more genes until you breed these for a time.

 

Of course there is always the breeding trilogy involved (time, space, money), but provided you are able to do this, it should be a pretty interesting project.

 

I have never seen yellows pop out of my rilis.

Thank you for your advise guys. I probably going to follow your instruction and try to separate those yellow offspring. I'll wait until they grow up and try to find the spear shrimp tank for them or maybe I'm not going to buy yellow sakuran for now and try to make my own in the tank I've just prepared for them
