{"product_id":"red-wasp","title":"Red Wasp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRed Wasp Shrimp\u003c\/strong\u003e is an exceptionally rare and newly developed Caridina variety featuring a striking combination of \u003cstrong\u003ered coloration, bold tiger-style striping, and can have a metallic sheen\u003c\/strong\u003e across the back and carapace. Developed by renowned master breeder \u003cstrong\u003eHop from Taiwan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Red Wasp is an offshoot of his famous \u003cstrong\u003eOrange Hornet\u003c\/strong\u003e line and carries many of the same distinctive pattern characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOrange Hornet\u003c\/strong\u003e was originally developed by Hop from \u003cstrong\u003eFancy Tiger genetics\u003c\/strong\u003e and became well known for its tiger-stripe pattern and metallic dorsal sheen. The pattern is characterized by a broad dorsal stripe that gradually dissolves downward into finer markings across the head carapace and portions of the body. Through further selective breeding of this lineage, the \u003cstrong\u003eRed Wasp\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed to express deeper red coloration while retaining the distinctive Hornet-style pattern and metallic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Red Wasp is unique. Individuals may display varying shades of \u003cstrong\u003edeep red, crimson, burgundy, pinkish-red, and metallic red\u003c\/strong\u003e, contrasted by lighter or translucent markings. Some shrimp may exhibit clearly defined parallel stripes across the body, while others may develop broader or more irregular tiger-style patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔴 Red Wasp — What to Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔴 R\u003cstrong\u003eed to crimson body coloration\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✨ Potentially have Metallic sheen across the back and carapace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐯 \u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive tiger-inspired striping and patterning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 Red, pinkish-red, cream, or translucent contrasting markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧬 \u003cstrong\u003eRare genetics originating from Hop's Orange Hornet lineage\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Important Pattern \u0026amp; Color Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wasp Shrimp are a relatively new selectively bred strain, and \u003cstrong\u003ecoloration, stripe count, metallic coverage, pattern, and overall appearance will naturally vary between individuals\u003c\/strong\u003e.
