solise.art Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 My red cherry gave birth a few weeks ago. I noticed out of 30 or so babies, most being red and clear,  two are yellow. 🤨 What’s going on with these punnet squares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuthatch Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Cool! Not a clue as to what is going on, but I think it sure is neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 The most likely answer is your cherries were mixed with yellows or something else at some point. It is possible you had a random mutation that occurred but most likely you just bought cherries that weren't pure. How long have you had them for?

solise.art Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks for the responses! Still learning how to navigate this forum and still a beginner shrimp keeper. I’ve had the parents for about 9 months now.  The parents were the only baby survivors to fully mature from the original 4 fire reds I bought. Something in my tank wiped out all the other shrimp, colony went from 4 adults and about 20 babies to just 2 babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
