A little back story on these guys. A little while ago I found a guy on craigslist that I was going to buy some tanks from. When I came over his house I was in for a surprise. Tanks full of CRS! Like 8 in total each one crawling full of them. In one tank I noticed amazing whites and each one with full white legs that were all flowerhorns. I tried to buy some from him but he refused. He said it took him years to breed these so he rather hold onto them since it made him and his elderly father happy to see them.
It turns out he bought some hino's back in 08 and he said since then hes been selecting them and trying to breed better ones. Even more amazing was that he only used tap water and hakari crab crusine. Some of they were so beautiful and it was as close to the pictures of Benibachi shrimp. When I asked if the gene pool had goldens he said he was not sure. He never added any and never had golden babies.
Determined to buy some, I offered lots of money for his culls. Finally he gave in and I bought a bunch of the ones he didn't want. And they were still pretty good to me. Originally I was gonna try these and try to breed back what he had. So I can't confirm if these are pure red lines but its pretty close to me. Also they seemed to be more hardier than the CRS I bought in the past. Of course this might just be because he breed them in local water.
I tried my best with my cell phone even with some reads on over exposure and lighting. I hope you guys can see the quality of what they look like
Oh I forgot to add the picture of the rili shrimp
