Hi there.
 
As you will see from the pic my CRS shrimp are breeding very dark and with excessive white. Do you think this is because the strain is not the best (brothers/sisters breeding) or have they potentially crossed withj the Golden bees that are in there???

These look like crystal black shrimp very unlikely to come from red cherry shrimp ( i would imagine as they are different type of shrimps) . I would suggest these have come from the golden bees as they are from the same family of shrimp and can contain CRS and CBS genes in them without you knowing .  Its possible to get CBS from two golden bees .

Oh. I am an idiot. These are from an crs (as in a banded red white shrimp) that live in a tank with golden bee shrimp.

Sorry.
