The Crystal Gold Shrimp — also known as the Pure Gold Line (PGL) — is an exceptionally rare and luxurious Caridina shrimp developed by Jang Cholho of HandSome Shrimp, one of Korea's most prestigious breeders. These shrimp are a stunning evolution of the classic Crystal lineage, selectively bred to exhibit brilliant golden accents in place of the usual white.
Originating from Gumi, Korea, this line is the product of years of refinement and top-tier genetic selection. Each Crystal Gold Shrimp showcases clean black patterning contrasted with radiant gold sections, often with translucent or champagne tones depending on the individual's age and lighting.
This exclusive line is still extremely limited in availability and ideal for collectors, breeders, or aquascapers seeking a centerpiece shrimp that no one else has.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 💛 Golden white coloration with shimmering yellow hues
- ⚫ Jet black markings typical of high-grade Crystal lines
- 🏆 Direct lineage from Korea’s elite Pure Gold Line program
All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments for optimal health and successful acclimation.
Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.
