If one compares coloration of neocaridina shrimps, advanced shrimp keepers always want to see pictures of the males, too. Against the background of females always showing better coloration, that’s a legimtimate demand. However, males must not be inferior automatically. Below a picture of a Sakura strain I used to keep until spring 2009 (gave it away then).

Wow, that’s an incredible male. Mostly, Neocaridina-males look a lot more boring, sorry to say that. Males like this are very unusual in my opinion.
Best regards!
Yes, this was a special male – but it shows that selection can leed to very good coloration and that the male shrimps are the key to success in neocaridina species.
