Taxon or trade identification
Black Blizzard (TB Shrimp) — Breeder trade selection; Caridina.
Appearance / taxonomic evidence
The Brothers Shrimp published a colony video under the Black Blizzard line label.
Wild distribution or documented breeder region
Vietnam; TB Shrimp-labelled colony
Lineage and species identification
Breeder video proves use of the name in that farm's practice but not its genetic founder, exact crosses, lineage purity or new species status.
Breeding, husbandry and authentication
For scientific taxa, do not assume that commercial Cherry, Bee, Tiger or Boa water chemistry or mating patterns apply. Confirm habitat and reproductive mode with primary literature and specimen-based identification. For captive trade strains, request breeder-specific generations, sexed parents, stable water logs and records of culls and re-selection. Avoid wild collection and release of nonnative shrimp.
