ok so what i have found in the last 2 days, is that, the shrimp themselves harbor this ability to glow, not a bacteria built up, shortly after a shrimp expires, the brightness fades... till it appears to be a slightly pale cherry shrimp!
if this was a simple bacteria ALL or most of my shrimp should have this attribute! only 1% or less do!
I feed same things other folks have fed their shrimp with no exceptions, plus if i had, all or most shrimp would appear altered!
these shrimp compared to normal cherry shrimp in daylight, appear to be paler, pinkish orange, and far more active at night!
i have counted now at least 3 breeding sized females! and i have located at least 1 large male, i intend to breed these, and feed them any foods you all deem "normal" and ill keep you all updated!
just keep in mind weirder things have happened in nature, cherry shrimps reproductive cycle is soo fast the odds of a mutation like this was bound to happen, sooner rather then later, for example how many color variations are now found of this shrimp, this is just another outstanding variation, that has nothing to do with outside forces, although if i stand corrected through the next few months, ill inform everyone it was a mistake!
at this point there is too much info pointing in the direction that this IS a true mutation, that the Shrimp themselves are harboring this new and exiting trait..
like i said ill keep everyone updated, and come a point where their ability to reproduce this trait in their young, consistently, ill possibly be shipping these out to the highest bidder, of course after i confirm my own suspicion
....well thanks for the support.. i guess
ill keep you updated..
