Redder than red RCS
I started feeding my RCS FBW (frozen blood worms) more often. Recently, I noticed that my shrimp are redder than red. Prior to that, I only fed them fish flakes, algae flakes, spirulina discs, and some mulm from a tank I just threw in some plants to see if they would grow. I would occassionally throw in FBW, but maybe once a week or so, but recently, I've been doing it almost every other day or so. The redness of the RCS appeared to be very bright red. I'm not sure if it's the red from the FBW or it's more nutritious or what. But I just wondered if anyone else have noticed anything similar to there redness when feeding FBW more.

I'm not sure if it's the temp. I have 2 tanks with RCS. The main shrimp tank is kept at 79°F (26°C), the other tank, which I have L-046 Zebra plecos and some RCS are kept at 82°F (28°C). Zebra plecos prefer warmer waters. In both tanks, the RCS appear to be redder than red. I use the same foods on both tanks, but just happen to feed a little extra (shrimp pellets, hikari sinking carinovore pellets, etc.) on the Zebra pleco.
