Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Other than a spontaneous mutation popping up, what do you think? Is it possible to selectively breed for a white pigmented shell of a neo? Pokeshrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 That would be cool to see, wonder if you could take that white and add colors to it like caridina's? Most likely would revert back to wild but maybe you could get shades like purple, pink or BB looking neo????? Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I believe that would be logical, Vpier. Vpier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 It may even be possible to create a pink bolt on the way to white. Look at this picture and see if you can tell what I mean. nuri and Vpier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 It won't make anyone famous. heh Names get lost in history as another thread I've started shows. All you could hope is a shrimp phenotype lives on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dluxeshrimps Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I was looking at my snowballs shrimp yesterday and noticed that some of then are super clear with neon bright white dots on the lower half of the shrimp. just like the picture you posted here smoothing. is that normal or something different I should seperate Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I think it can be done. I was actually thinking about doing this because i noticed some very pale yellow shrimp in my yellow colony. I'm sure if you selectively breed the pale yellow long enough it'll start to appear more white. I'm sure the "racing stripe" will make them pop even more.

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Dluxe, I think it's worth a shot. I haven't seen anyone selectively breeding for that. Poke, I thought about going that direction many times myself. The thing that stopped me was I have yet to see any true painted yellows to breed for white shell pigmentation.

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Worth a shot, nuri? I'd love for you to start a journal so we could follow your progress. Same with Dluxe and Poke. We can follow all y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
