so I have a weird red eyed one spot CRS


I bred my snow white female shrimp to a mischling and this is one of her babies. I thought when it was born it was just a trick of the light that the eyes showed red, but its growing up in the crs tank now and today I fished it out to get a better look at it.

I am NOT a great photographer (unlike speedie ) but I did my best to try to capture what I was seeing. It is in a bowl on a desk, so the background makes it look more yellowish, but it is in fact white.

I am not sure why it only has one dot on its head and red eyes...its not sick, just different from my other snows. Now Im wondering what it might throw if I cross it back to say a red wine??? Any thoughts?





here's one right after it was born, with a sibling...you can see the red eyes clearly on it.

Wow that's really interesting? Are yours hybrids too like this one or pure crystals?

I have a lightning bolt Mosura (has 3 red triangles on its head) but it is not the same as this snow white, which is a hybrid cross.

Most snows don't have any red on them (hence why they are called snow whites) otherwise they would be classified as Mosura's.

I would love to see pics of your one spot ones!
