Yes for sure...i do hope they are a new color combo like u said..the stripes are solid orange Sent from my SM-A700H using Tapatalk The thing is all my shrimps were Red Cherry with no stripes since last year...only now i am noticing this sudden color change Sent from my SM-A700H using Tapatalk

The strip along the back is normal, just like the yellow shrimp which also has this.

Thanks a lot for your input..i am still unsure whether it is sick or it is something else..i noticed several shrimps looked like this, white an orange stripe across their back and they were separated from the rest Sent from my SM-A700H using Tapatalk

You have been making changes over the earlier period so that may make a difference and the tank is more established the longer you go so don't be put off trying blues and blacks again, from a different source. Those ones did better with me but they were from a different supplier than the reds. I would personally doubt the 'colour' would make any difference, more likely to be the source/breeder? Still, those red ones are stunning so you can't loose either way! Don't be put off trying again from a different supply though! Woohoo! More shrimplets, at this rate you may soon need a bigger tank? My newly set up tank is being a bit stubborn and not moving from nitrates of 25........ I will test it again on wednesday and if it s still being stubborn I guess I will have to do a big(gish) water change, d'oh! I guess if I use just RO water and do 8L (1/3) it will get the GH and TDS to the better parameters at the same time. Thankfully it is a rubbish UK weather week so shoudn't be too warm.Luckily I also haven't put the buckets away from setting the tank up. Simon
