Cardinal shrimp with full white legs (new form of caridina dennerli)

[imke_j]

Why most of us are simply happy to keep their SLW shrimp alive, a shrimp keeper in Germany (Stefan Bischoff) has worked on Cardinal shrimp and presented a strain with full white legs - which means not only the feeding arms are white, but ALL legs.

Please check out Jared's blog for photos, as I have not requested copyrights to post the pictures here:

I did not knew there where already so many colors of these shrimps.

@BrunoAlves: Yes, I have seen the transparent dennerli with no body coloration also, thanks for the reminder :) Looks as in any shrimp form the can be a transparent morph. When the first import batches began, one did see fire-red cardinals often, while now the dark-red morphs are more spread. Perhaps they collect them at another location...

Sulaweshi shrimp selective breeding has just started. Look at caridina spinata forms... I think it's also possible a cardinal with no dots and white legs. It's just a matter of time... and good breeders ;)

It is great to see what is possible with these beautifyl shrimps.

Hi

I have seen these beauties Caridina dennerli var "Ivory" with my own eyes, they appeared in France, not far from where I live. My own Caridina dennerli come from this Fish farm.

I have been thinking this, too - but the breeder says he did not cross that shrimp.

@kobal: The picture you posted does not show a full white leg cardinal, please compare to the link in the first post.

I know that!:D I was just commenting the picture Brunoalves had posted before, showing a white/yellow mutation of Caridina dennerli called "Ivory".:)

I think this is a great thread. Most other shrimp are selectively bred, why not Cardinals. I too have seen differences in my own Cardinal stock. The very first batch I received from over seas was a scarlet red color and in my opinion the most impressive of all variations I have seen. Unfortunately it was my first batch and with my own inexperience I managed to kill them off. All variations I have come in contact with since have been an intensely purple color...also VERY beautiful, but those "Cardinal", scarlet colored batch were pretty amazing.

A beautifu shrimp, You guys are so lucky We are totally unable to get these shrimp into Australia ( leagal that is)

Incredible. It will be interesting to see what these breeders can do in the future, once these Sulawesis have been on the market long enough. Such a beautiful species, I look forward to seeing what variations can be brought about. Thank you for sharing!
