Taxon and evidence category
Mixed Sulawesi Caridina — uncontrolled observational tank comparison
Illustrated breeder-to-observation evidence tree
Original dated study or breeder account
First-person 2023 report
Actually reported measurements
Reported biofilm in high-performing colonies, UVC-treated water lower strip-test bacteria signal
Evidence interpretation
Potential hypotheses for future replicated tank studies
Why this is NOT an inheritance ratio
No randomized UV comparison; author's 100 ppm nitrate was deliberately fish/shrimp-free pre-stocking only, NOT livestock dosing guidance Parent sexes, specimen IDs, and F1/F2 genotype-phenotype cohorts not disclosed
Conservation and care boundaries
Do not collect threatened wild populations; require documented captive-bred stock and stable measured conditions, avoid aquarium releases.

Identified breeder reports approximate colony stock sizes, conditions and subsequent crash — Unmarked animals and no controlled experiment, no exact newborn count or DNA-verified parentage.
