Tree 1: Scientific species and study localities
This is a categorical genus/species grouping, NOT a single resolved molecular phylogeny. Scientific names refer to specimens or diagnoses. Partial COI phylogenetic affinities from the 2024 survey are described as study-specific rather than a universal family tree.

Tree 2: Breeder-specific records, not species branches
Hop Bui / TB Shrimp reports Boa and other designer stock, with a breeder-specific breeding/grow-out separation and hand-selected male-to-female ratios. A vendor-specific Black Blizzard or Orange Boa is NOT proof that every globally sold Boa descends from one TB founder. Galactic Shrimps lists Blood Mary Orange Eye, Red Galaxy Snowflake and Super Crystal Red Extreme. A named commercial line is a breeder/vender project until documentary crosses or genetic assays prove parentage.

Tree 3: Inheritance hypothesis testing
Keep samples and dates: specimen ID -> confirmed biological species -> mother and father identities -> controlled F1 cross -> repeated F2 and backcross counts -> molecular markers or genome-wide comparisons -> independent colony repeat. Pigment grades and eye color names alone do not establish genotype or a 3:1 trait ratio.
