ANSWERS

Mr. Hisayasu Suzuki of Japan is the "founder" of the Crystal Red Shrimp.
Tiger tooth refers to the shape of the red coloration strip towards the latter part of the body, on the side. A white notch extends from the underside of the shrimp up into the middle color band on CRS/bee shrimp. For example, VV(the red color would fill the 'V's, white would be between and on either side of them).
False: CRS will not crossbread with Cherry Shrimp b/c they are a different species
True: The red stripes are a resessive trait

There have been about 20 entries to date. From a brief glance, there was maybe 1 or 2 100% winners so far. I haven't graded them yet, but the first 3 winners will be announced on May 1st, as well as the answers to the quiz.

Everyone has until May 1st to win the last top prizes spots, or at the very least you'll be able to win a consolation trial prize just for playing. Do remember to include your mail address with your answers to receive the Mosura Prizes/Trial packs.
