(We are currently working on culling the neocaridina, in a manner of moving less golden ones into nano tanks. When they begin to have brighter colors we will sell them. The strains we got were from 3 different locations. But, sadly, the strain we got from Houston Aquatics was actually Sunkist and not the SSS Goldenbacks we ordered. Thank you for your patience.)
