I am having some issues with the white pigment on my crystals. The White is muddy rather than a nice crisp white. I know the colour is improved with selective breeding which is step one in my program - I've picked out the whitest shrimp and will breed and cull to improve the colour but I'm sure that there must be some foods and additives I could use. Benibachi used to have a product called whiteup and Genchem has white pellets which I will try to purchase. My substrate is relatively new and I add mineral powder at water change - approx fortnightly. Water Calcium tests last year were in the right ratio . I am adding axanthitan - always forget how to spell that - but have found in research that it can muddy whites so that's not helping however I had the issue before I started to use it. The patterns on my shrimp are improving especially in my CBS where I am getting S, SS, SSS grade patterns but they are really culls because of the White. My CRS have improved from B/A grades to S and a few SS grade patterns but again with muddy whites. Pictures to follow. Anyone have any thoughts on how I can help improve my stock? My obvious thought is to buy some good males and use them on my best females which will help but if I could improve my own stock without adding new genes I would prefer that.

Hi All, Posting after a long time - Presenting One native shrimp of India - Caridina Sp. White Backed. Some of us call it as Indian Bee also. The shrimp generally comes in 2 color - orange-mud color and also blue color. And some times the rare black ones also been caught, but they are really rare. I have separated the orange and blue and will breed them separately to see what is the off-spring color I am getting. Providing 2 images as of now, and the images are from fb so some sharpness already have been lost -
