SkyFish Galaxy Fishbone: source-stock evidence

Breeder-reported stock categories are displayed as dashed historical input lines; this is not a three-parent individual mating, nor a genetic sequence.

Larmax Volcano Rili: selection, not a founder pedigree

Dashed line shows source-reported selection only; disconnected founders remain unknown. Golden-Back Red and Orange Rili were historical names; a specific Red x Orange cross is not proven.

Red Rili

What the source says: Larmax compares its own 2018 and 2026 Red Rili males and reports selective culling over many generations to improve red pigmentation density, continuity of cephalothorax/abdomen coverage, reduced gill-plate breakage and more sharply defined red-transparent boundaries.

Still not proven: Not proof that Larmax originally created Red Rili; does not confirm discrete genes or fixed F2 probabilities.

Volcano Rili

What the source says: Larmax reports progressively selecting its Volcano Rili breeding system for golden-back dorsal coverage, shell pigment density and clearly segmented Rili zones while preserving the transparent midsection. It says the early line was called Golden-Back Red Rili or Golden-Back Orange Rili.

Still not proven: Earlier marketing/working names are not proof of a Golden-Back Red Rili × Golden-Back Orange Rili cross. Source uses multiplying signs as a list of selection criteria, not a pedigree.

Galaxy Fishbone (Skyfish line)

What the source says: The SkyFish founder reports about three years of selective breeding and repeated culling to stabilize and mass-produce Galaxy Fishbone, drawing on traits from Crystal shrimp, Orange Tiger-striped shrimp and Black King Kong/Taiwan Bee stock; early pigment and pattern stability were difficult.

Still not proven: Named source-stock categories and mixed traits are not a DNA-confirmed three-parent individual mating, proved hybrid fertility rate or validated single-gene ancestry. Already catalogued as Skyfish-origin; this is claim-level method evidence, not a new strain.

SkyFish controlled shrimp breeding environment

What the source says: SkyFish described 2013 construction of two breeding farms holding 1,200 tanks, plus a 2018 3,000 m² outdoor Neocaridina farm. The founder described soft water GH 2–4 and weakly acidic pH 5.8–6.8 as a compatible approach for his Crystal shrimp/planted aquaria and explained that heavy plant growth impairs observation when actively selecting breeding animals.

Still not proven: Historical self-reported husbandry context, not independently controlled optimal water range for all bee Caridina strains. 1,200 is tanks in 2013, not a current facility count.
