The wine red and king kong shrimp may still be far from being widely available in Europe and North America but like the high grade crystal red and crystal black shrimp before them, we can still enjoy these new ornamental shrimp varieties through pictures and video. In this case, a wide diversity of varieties of wine red and king kong shrimp are featured in the video slideshow above by YouTube user popehome. As of this writing the wine red and king kong shrimp still fetch a minimum of $400-500 dollars a piece for the tiniest little shrimplets and almost double that for a specimen that you can actually see with the naked eye. However, these new varieties are only in the hands of the most dedicated ornamental shrimp hobbyists as the financial and logistical hurdles of importing a breeding group of either strain is still prohibitive to all but the most affluent or dedicated shrimp lovers. Although the high SS+ and higher grades of crystal red and crystal blacks only took a couple of years to become somewhat available for reasonable prices throughout the world, some reports seem to indicate that both the wine red and king kong grades are significantly less prolific than the SS+ and Mosura shrimp before them. Let’s hope that breeders develop new techniques to successfully raise more of these very attractive new strains of Crystal shrimp so that we can all enjoy them in person.
