peppermint shrimp blue!

[cinnamongirl]

I have 3 peppermint shrimp in my tank that have turned blue! Instead of white/yellow and red striped, they are mostly bluegrey and red striped! Anyone know why?

Agreed, next they may begin to clear up, then disappear for a few days.

Peppermint shrimp arent generally striped white and yellow. Id be worried about that lol.

he said white/yellow, as in some color between the two, striped with red. Exactly as mine are.

Ya, when I bought them they were ivory colored with red stripes down their body. Now they're blue! with red stripes All of them! I'll try getting pix, but they dont really show up too well with my camera. They've been blue for about 2 weeks now.

Have you added anything to the tank (medicine, new supplement)? I would like to see a pic.
