Our Orange Sunkist is selected for more than that. The general tone runs a deeper orange than usual, a little more red than most on the market, and the majority carry a more solid colour over the body. It keeps all the hardiness and quick breeding of a cherry shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the photo.\u003c\/strong\u003e The shrimp pictured is one of the best-looking adults from the batch.
