Sadly my phone camera doesn’t pick it up very well

I have seen a lot of colors since I mix my colors. I have not seen purple though. I never had green but somehow a dark hunter green showed up…my phone didn’t catch the color either I empathize

Its amazing  I got it from pets smart and it almost looked black in their tank.

My first generation of blues made about half red babies, some browns and a few that grew up to be purplish.  Looking really close it's blue and red spots.  I don't think that coloration is stable or easy to breed though

Wow that is interesting. I have noticed some of my Cherry Shrimps have a orange or lighter red stripe down the top of their backs.

I've noticed the stripe in my culls too especially when they get old.  I think that's a standard attribute with the yellows.

That's called a "racing stripe."  It's somewhat common on red shrimp and very common on yellow ones, but I've never seen it on a blue one.

@JettsPapaok cool I did not know it was called that! It seems like a desirable trait to want to have in your colony.
