Pure Red Line (K14) - Caridina

The Pure Red Line (PRL) K14 Shrimp is a pinnacle grade of ornamental dwarf shrimp, a selectively bred variant of the Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis). The designation identifies a specimen of the highest genetic purity and aesthetic quality.

Pure Red Lineage. This strain has been selectively bred over many generations without outcrossing to enhance white color (e.g., with Golden Bee Shrimp). This integrity ensures the red and white pigments are genetically strong and stable.

Highest Aesthetic Grade. K14 is the top tier on the German grading scale, signifying the maximum expression of opaque white color and the most desirable red patterning. It is often equivalent to the SSS+ grade on the International scale.
