Tiger Shrimp with Stripe on Back

[wskurdahl]

Some of my tiger shrimp have stripes down their backs like you see in some neocaridina species. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this before.

I have some that look like that.

I've had some that had the stripe, too. It's invariably the tiger shrimp with the rather thin striping. It's probably a local variety and hence should probably be kept with others of its kind and not mixed with other tiger shrimp. Not all the animals of this variety have stripes, but many do.
