The hell are you talking about. One of the main reasons for even buying a black diamond is for the major difference in contrast between the black and the white compared to a leo. Carotenoids in the shells enhance red colouring anyways which has practically nothing to do with the white and black on leos. I'd like to see you even attempt to prove your shrimp shell theory. Most rays won't even take the shell and just de-shell the shrimp manually. Possibly some will have yellow spots some time in their life, but by all means, theres obviously a direct relationship between the white in the spots to whether or not its a BD.calgaryflames;4483035; said:not a chance dude.colors of spots means absolutly nothing.leave the shell on your shrimp and the spots turn white .spot color is based on diet 100%
their is no debate or anything on this subject.100% of black diamonds will have yellow spots at some point in its life.and what makes you think yellow spots means its a regular leo.I own a few bds and personally i dont even think they are leos ,but lets not get into that now.black diamonds come from a certian part of the river sao felix.
