A suggested uropod imaging site is not a grade standard
The evidence library is allowed to change in public. This page preserves the revised boundary, why it moved and which guides were affected.
What changed
The colour evidence backlog now records a direct 2011 Neocaridina chromatosome paper without promoting its abstract into a grading or husbandry rule.
Why it changed
The accessible abstract identifies three phenotypes, anterior pigmentation and the uropod exopod as a suitable non-invasive monitoring area, but the full methods and results remain access-controlled. Phenotype definitions, denominators, holding conditions, imaging controls, scoring, statistics and effect sizes remain unverified, so one phone photograph cannot be treated as a stable whole-animal grade, genetic test, health reading or colour-care prescription.
Sources reviewed for this change
Affected practical guides
A public change is not automatically a retraction. A source may be added, a scope narrowed, a gap refined or an error corrected. The current guide and registry record own the current wording.
