THE LIVING LIBRARY
{name} collection
ʻŌpae ʻula
Status: evidence-backed research catalog. Genetic groups are not equivalent to named aquarium strains or to the eight major mitochondrial lineages.
ʻŌpae ʻula and Alpha Opae life-history deepening
This addendum preserves weak claims when they are potentially useful, but labels them explicitly as agency summary, specialist observation, community experiment, breeder claim, hypothesis, o
ʻŌpae ʻula and Alpha Opae breeding + water parameters
1. SUPPORTED — experimentally demonstrated, peer-reviewed, or strong government/agency evidence.
ʻŌpae ʻula (Halocaridina rubra) island-level distribution
Strong published evidence supports naturally occurring Halocaridina rubra on five of the eight high Hawaiian Islands
ʻŌpae ʻula lineages, coloration, and “Alpha Opae”
Status: research baseline; source-backed claims separated from hobby observations.
Caridina controlled-diet evidence deepening
Scope: mandatory Caridina/Taiwan Bee feeding lane. Species-level controlled evidence only; zero strain-count effect. Append-only; does not overwrite prior digestive-physiology or manufacture
Caridina feeding deepening
Scope: mandatory Caridina diet/feeding lane; species-level evidence only; zero strain-count effect.
Ornamental shrimp feeding
Scope: species-level feeding evidence first; inherit to color strains/grades only when the taxon is the same and no strain-specific evidence contradicts it.
Neocaridina feeding deepening
Scope: mandatory shrimp diet/feeding lane only; zero strain-count effect.
2026 rare-line and naming-collision addendum
Companion to: research/shrimp-strain-origin-survey-2026-09-06.md
Shrimp regional commercial-feed audit
Scope: mandatory Caridina/Neocaridina feeding lane. Commercial-feed evidence only; zero strain-count effect.
Shrimp strain origin and breeder provenance survey
Scope: ornamental Neocaridina and Caridina strains, hybrids, selected morphs, and high-value wild species/forms commonly sold in the dwarf-shrimp hobby.
