Creating NEW Amano Shrimp Colors: Why Yellow is the Secret to Red & Green!

How to breed rare Amano shrimp colors like Snow White, Sun Orange, and the new Lemon Yellow morphs! In this video, I reveal why breeding Yellow to Yellow is the absolute best path for discovering solid red, blue, or green mutations in Caridina multidentata. We dive into the timeline of these breakthrough morphs and explain why keeping a "skittles" tank could be a genetic mistake for serious breeders.

While most hobbyists use Amano Shrimp only for algae control, the ornamental genetics are changing fast. The Snow White Amano is a leucistic mutation that cleared the wild-type dots and dashes, creating a blank canvas. The Lemon Yellow is a "deeper" mutation that re-activated xanthophore (yellow pigment) production over that leucistic base. By refining this line, we can eventually trigger shifts into solid patternless shades that have never been seen in the hobby before.
