wine red shrimp

I found several CRS with a darker almost black sort of red in my colony about a month or 2 ago! People in Asia calls this variation Wine Red CRS and people have been selling better quality (more red) of the same shrimp for around $500 each online.
About 2 weeks after I found my first batch of Wine Red CRS I found another 10 <1 week old babies with the same intense red colors but as they grew they started losing the intensity of the red. The dark red coloration is still noticeably darker but its probably not dark enough to be considered wine red anymore.
Unlike most breeders I was selectively breeding for not only solid white but also solid, and dark red but I never expected something like this! As of right now I have about 5 shrimp that could be considered wine red and around 10 that is between “regular” red and Wine Red.

Fenbendazole

Fenbendazole is a chemical used in dog deworming medications used in shrimp tanks to eradicate planaria and hydra.

A several months ago, I used it for hydra in my shrimp tanks and had quite a bit left over. At the same time, I was also quarantining some green neons for a friend so I said to myself "what the hell" and threw it in. I did this for two days along with a malachite green treatment and the ich completely disappeared.

At the time I wasn't sure whether it was the fenbendazole that helped the fish get better but I've had prior experience with treating ich with malachite green and it took a lot longer than it did when I used it in combination with fenbendazole.

After working at aqua forest for several months, I finally got steven(owner) to let me use fenbendazole in the shrimp tanks to get rid of planaria. We had some left over medication and some quarantine tanks with ich so I added some medication into a quarantine tank with ich infested phantom tetras and bushynose plecos. I added 2 tweezer pinches of fenbendazole powder in the 20 gallon tank about every other day for 6-8 days and the ich disappeared.

Since that worked, we've been using it in all tanks with ich.
