I've seen a few in my mixed crs/cbs tank.

Same here lindy, in amongst the ones I had from you, also ones with black stripes and reddy edges to the black, which looks great.

 

[Vic]

Yes. I've seen some of these, usually in S or lower grades. More difficult to see in higher grades.

Glad to see your shrimps are happy in their new home!

 

[mr. luke]

Im surpised no one has put work into these yet.
After having a closer look I can see at least 3 that have red towards the tail. If someone couldpin down half red half black it would be a nice little earner.

The shrimps are doing well vic, very pleased with them The only issue being that after asking for a mixed bunch I spotted some black babies from my own Crs..... Sods law
