INSANE GLOW IN THE DARK SHRIMP, PLEASE READ!!!

[Malefic23]

Who knew you could get shrimp to glow by feeding them radium? Heh, no seriously, that's pretty neat. If it's bacteria, those particular shimp may be predisposed to harboring colonies of it. Try breeding and see if it's passed down to the kids.

Here is another theory, genetic manipluation. Seems plausable as Cherries breed easily and quickly.

the funny thing i have to say about this decomposing bacteria, that glows, beleive it or not, they lose their flourescence as they die, as i found out last night!!! any more theories?

i firmly beleive that this is a true one of a kind living shrimp, swimming around glowing bright, REAL shrimp, also the picture i posted may not show, the digestive track does NOT glow the body and meat of the shrimp does, giving the edges of its shell an unreal look! have to see it in person, sadly i cannot allow anyone in my home

Yes, perhaps they a carry an affinity for the bioluminescent bacteria, but
I wouldn't place wagers on it.

Because of the radiation?
