SOME SHRIMP WHITE AND SOME RED

Post by Tony12312 »

Hello All,

New here and trying to find out information about my shrimp.

Does anyone know why some of my shrimp are clear white and not all red?

Just simple genetic variation I would assume. You'll also see shrimp who have a stripe of white, and some are even orange instead of red.

As Varanus said, it can be individual variation or something something simple like tank conditions. Can you post some pictures?
