Just wondering if anyone has any or has ever seen one?

For anyone that doesn't know, these are the shrimp that cherry shrimp(Neocaridina heteropoda "var.red") were selectively bred from.

Yes I have some they are very plain and colourless they are quite readily available and cheap to buy in the trade but not that desirable they are sometimes called denticulata

Got a tank full.
They are established in the wild here. Sold in pet shops as feeders.
Nice little shrimp, undemanding & hardy though I guess if you can get the Cherry Red (I can't) then i'd just go with those.
