My friend go these shrimp from Seattle and I have no clue as to what they are.
They have not changed colour. I know that they are not Blue pearl Shrimp or Blue cherry shrimp.

Thanks

It's a Caridina sp. from India and/or South Asia. There are several species that have this back-pattern. Hard to tell without maybe more pictures or having the shrimp live in front of me. It could even be the whitebanded shrimp described in the shrimp varieties pages.
