OMG Aquatics Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Any idea why my Fire Red Shrimp looks like this? There's only a few that look like this. About 4 out of 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquasapien69 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 What do you see that is a problem? Do you mean the lighter color on the back? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ooh, you have Mohawk shrimp too! (If that's the concern, see the topic I started in fear from a few weeks back... ) ETA also, I made my Mohawk mama my profile pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Racing stripe! Apparently bred for and quite desirable in some high quality strains. In short, totally normal coloration variation. I didn't know that until mine popped up though, and the good folks here reassured me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom? Middle? Top? I put mine where the output is just at water level. Is that correct or should it go lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 As long as water is moving through the vertical tube with the bubbles, anywhere is fine. I place mine toward the middle/bottom, but some people place the outflow ABOVE the water line to lessen the sound of bubbles. As long as water and bubbles still come out, you are good.
