Dark Brown shades of Neos

[SudhirR]

 

 

There are wild type neos, some red cherry and some dream blues in this tank.

 

I am starting to see some dark and glossy blackish brown shrimplets emerging in this tank.

I assume that they are reverting to wild type, though I've not had them looking quite like that, but I don't have blues, just the red. If they weren't from an established single type tank it can even happen with all shrimps that are one colour as the parents could be mixed or carrying mixed genes!

You are probably best to remove the ones you don't like but if you are already at this stage it will probably happen more often and in larger numbers as tie goes on? As it is a mixed tank anyway, just removing the ones that are turning won't stop the problem as the reds and blues will cross breed anyway?
