SHRIMPAPEDIA / COMMERCIAL LINEAGE RESEARCH / 2026

Breeder-specific color, metallic and Orange Eye line evidence

26 traceable trade-line research records: 11 Neocaridina and 15 Caridina, each with an original illustrated source-to-trait pedigree panel.

What this expansion is and is not

These 26 entries are independent source-linked profiles of retailer names and historical breeder reports. Some overlap existing biological strain classes and must NOT be counted as 26 newly evolved genotypes, verified distinct species, or new founder families.

Three categories of research

Neocaridina orange-eye and green/yellow/red market history; Caridina Taiwan Bee/Galaxy/Tiger marketing classifications; and reported metallic-purple trade history. Individual founders and inheritance are labelled unknown where sources do not prove them.
