  • The Black Rose OE line boasts impressive genetic stability.

    • When bred together, 100% of the offspring inherit the distinctive orange eye trait.
    • About 70% of the young shrimp display the desired opaque, pitch-black coloration that defines this variety.

  • However, like many dark-colored Neocaridina lines, some individuals may exhibit a brownish pattern due to the presence of chocolate genes. While this doesn't detract from the shrimp's beauty, breeders have two options for further refinement:

    1. Select for the deepest black specimens to maintain the stark contrast with the orange eyes.
    2. Embrace the reddish undertones, similar to the development of the "Red Onyx" variety.

    For those seeking the ultimate contrast between body and eyes, Michael's developed a separate line based on the Neocaridina Black Sapphire (Click to see our Black Sapphire OE). This variant eliminates the potential brown tones, ensuring a consistently striking appearance.

    To further enhance the dramatic contrast between body and eyes, we recommend continued selective breeding for the darkest red specimens.
