Tiger Shrimp Question

Is there a red variety of it? The red is on the strips pattern instead of black which we find in the regular tigers.
Where can I find them?
Many thanks.
Cheers

The red kind is the dead kind.

I have heard of this mutation where they have red stripes. There is also a color variant that has a blue body.

When they show the milky white coloration, and the red stripes it normally signals death.

I don't mean the sick/dying tigers .... there seems to be tigers that have red strips instead of black strips.

Ok found it. In the "Shrimps from China" thread mustafa says
That "red tiger" shrimp on the picture is sick and dying. Shrimp get all "milky" colored and white and even change color (for example black does become reddish...) when they are about to die.

This is what I found on the net which is different (maybe not much) than the one showed in the thread you mention. Very confusing ....
