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.
