Research subject and region
Demin Wong / MADSHRIMP — Taiwan line history and 2026 breeding guidance — Singapore with Taiwan breeder interviews
History and specific contemporary records
2022 retrospective Neocaridina history, 2021 Purple King Kong observations, 2023 PRL/RFT selection advice, 2025 colored-eye article and 2026 beginner-care commentary.
Breeder-reported methods
Reports selecting base color first, then pattern over generations; stresses both parental contributions rather than 'male genes dominate', and stable GH/mineralization rather than relying solely on TDS.
Attribution/confidence and exclusions
First-person expertise and reports; unverified 90% Purple King Kong offspring claim is not a measured genotype probability. Already present as breeder, this is a source update.
Sources and uncertainty

Founder years and yearly volumes are retrospective recollections, not a primary scientific register

2015/2020 year claims and 90% offspring resemblance are uncounted and unvalidated

Good critique, but still not genotype assay
