Different from Pinto Spotted (Black/6), Pinto Spotted (Red/6) has red base color with six white star spots on the head, which is quite eye-catching. Its body is white as Taiwan Bee (white body), so it is called Pinto Mosura (Pinto shrimp – white body). In Taiwan, we named it Spotted Mosura. Such a refreshing visual sensibility has quickly conquered the markets of Europe and Northeast Asia and players have begun to ponder its origin. As a result, this species has become a new emerging force that can compete with Japanese pure-blood Crystal shrimps at the top of the pyramid of the ornamental shrimp market.
