    Default Chocolate/Black colored Cherry Shrimp?

    So, I noticed in one of my tanks I have a few "darker" almost black colored cherries...anyone ever seen ones like this before? I'm thinking of selectively breeding them and seeing if I can get some really super black shrimp, kind of like the Fire Red's that people are selling. Anyone know whether the color/trait breeds true?

    Thanks!
