If you wanted to try breeding something like this, what starters would you choose?

I'm afraid I can't afford metallic shrimp, but I find myself in a good position to breed them. I'm thinking Blue Diamond Neocaridina to start, maybe 10 of them and 1 gray? Now, everything I've read says "mixing will over ride the recessive genes and result in wild shrimp".

Every breeding experiment I've actually seen shows that mixing red and yellow definitely gets you a few orange. So what do you guys think?

Quick note, I've read enough to know its probably impossible and that's okay. I'm going to try because I need a shrimp tank anyway and might as well make a fun goal out of it, any advice or thoughts are welcome. ​

Hey all, I'm starting to make 'stuff' in-a-bottle kits, regular ships, space ships, planes, things like that.

I'd like to make a beginner kit using one of these ships and I'd really appreciate some input. Of these 4, which would you have the most fun painting? And which do you think would look best in a bottle on your shelf or a table?

For context we're talking about a 7 inch long bottle and the ship itself would be around 4 inches long. Thoughts?
