Cool low grade CRS in my betta/cull tank

I found a couple of these cool looking low grade CRS in my cull tank. Sometimes I like the mutts better than the high grade shrimp. Apologies for the bad cell pic

Great shrimp! You should try breeding and culling to develop more red. Really cool.

I just noticed the black worms. You have a LOT of those, do your shrimps eat them?

No, the betta does not even eat them or the zebra otos. I put them in the tank after the akadama broke down and made the tank a muddy mess they cleaned up the substrate and cleared the water up in a few days. They do keep the substrate clean though but have had quite a population explosion.

I'm kind of getting out of the shrimp game, I'm going to make this tank (12Long) a killifish tank.

If someone in the area wants it and a similar one they can have it. My buddy and his wife are enthralled by my shrimp tanks and want to set up their own so I'm going them help them set it up and give them my shrimp. I'm not really set up to ship and don't really have the motivation to start or else I would send them out.
