jeff1012 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 So on some of my cherry shrimp, I have noticed a white streak on top of the body running from head to tail. What is this?? 95% of my shrimp are fully red (no white) and I think they would be near or basically painted fire red cherry shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zodiac Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 racing stripe. normal for older/darker shrimp to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGlassBox Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Yup. Just a racing stripe. That's a tough trait to cull out as by the time it appears most have already bred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalalelo94 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 One of mine, Bob, has one, I rather like it, he looks cool with a racing stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeseball Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I don't know what it is, but I really like it. It looks even better on the yellow version of the cherry shrimp. I have done some looking before, no one seems to know for sure what it is exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGlassBox Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yeah, I forgot to mention that in some Neos, they actually breed for that trait... Google images of "golden back" shrimp. They're a beautiful yellow shrimp with a pronounced racing stripe and they're really pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeseball Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Ya, I love those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matuva Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 If you see one with the twin racing stripe, might be an AC Cobra or a Ford. Sorry could not resist Other than that, I have some in every color I breed, even some of my black rose have a brown/red racing stripe TheGlassBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
