Identity and taxonomic caution
Neocaridina davidi trade attribution — Kanoko Red. Commercial variety names are not formal zoological nomenclature.
Illustrated gene / lineage evidence panel
Diagnostic appearance
Red patterned variation (retail grade name)
Who documented this line
MADSHRIMP includes Kanoko in red grading sequence
Reported breeding or historical relation
Red-selection grade/line label, not discrete locus
Historical date or provenance context
Early commercial red grades by 2022
Genetic evidence status
Commercial label or historical report only; no validated individual-parent pedigree, quantitative F1/F2 segregation count or allele dominance.
Breeding, husbandry and quality assessment
For a new colony, confirm the supplier's exact biological species/stock background, mature appearance, water chemistry, GH/KH, conductivity and temperature before using any generalized genus parameters. To verify inheritance, record sexed parental pairs, source locality, F1/F2 offspring denominator and graded traits. Selection labels (OE, metallic, Rili, fancy) do not establish a universal allele or crossing recipe.
