Shrimporama Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I am no authority, but my feeling is lack of pigmentation (genetic). if you look at pictures 2,3 and 4 there are varying degrees of yellow on all shrimp. Look at legs, antennae,tail, & body. Some shrimp have partial yellow legs, while others are solid white or yellow (pic 3). Also look at picture 2 the upper right shrimp has a light spot behind its eyes. Pretty shrimp. Cappie49 and bobthesushiguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappie49 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks for reply and I never noticed but yeah I see what you mean. Lack of pigmentation I can handle. Gives me something to work on. Was concerned about possibility of infection as I've no prior experience in dealing with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthesushiguy Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Wow, if its lack of pigmentation, I would actually want that lil guy! I think its cute, it seems like he has a little white helmet on. Cappie49 and Shrimporama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimporama Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Also the lack of pigment areas look defined and there is a yellow "blushing" within. Similar to the blue splotching on many blue bolts. I am a student of shrimp keeping with so much to learn, so just my musings.
