shrimp culls

Neocaridina culls refer to shrimp that are selectively removed or discarded from breeding populations, typically due to undesirable traits or genetic issues. In the context of Neocaridina shrimp, such as the popular *Neocaridina davidi* (also known as Cherry Shrimp), culling is a common practice among hobbyists and breeders aiming to maintain or improve the quality of their shrimp lines.

Culls are often individuals that exhibit characteristics that do not meet the desired standards for color, pattern, or size. For example, in a tank of red Cherry Shrimp, culling might be done to remove those that are pale, have poor coloration, or show deformities. The culling process helps maintain a healthy, visually consistent, and genetically strong breeding population.
