While I was trying to pics of a berried female I have, I came across something else......
While some of my supershrimps are different shades of red many are still white. I noticed how some dark areas behind theirs heads. Others don't.
Then what came swimming along? A bright green one! This picture just does not do it justice. I have to assume this is common and I've just never
seen it before?
Have you seen these? Wouldn't it be cool if we could get some brilliant glow in the dark green Opaes?
Looks like the tomalley I saw in my lobster yesterday. I wonder if that's shrimp tomalley?
I have never seen that in my clear ones. I took your picture and tried to color correct the exposure in
Photoshop to get a better true picture of the little guy. Wow! That's bright green! Very cool!
That's not a green shrimp. It's a white shrimp with green eggs developing in its saddle. Either way, congrats on the white mutation! They occur once in a while...here and there. I still have not gotten around to gathering mine into a tank to selectively breed them...same applies to my yellow/orange ones..and whatever other mutation may happen to be out there in my tanks. If you have space, and get the hang of breeding your shrimp, you may want to set up a separate tank to selectively breed the white ones. With one shrimp it may take forever to get a pure line going, but hey...it's a challenge, right?
