Are you talking about the light orange patches on the back of the shrimp as I can't see any 'white'?? I have had red chrerry shrimp that have a lighter colour stripe along its back, so similar. If your shrimp are only a few days old then they may just be getting back to their normal colour as they settle into a new environment and the different water parameters. The shrimp may also be about to molt due to the change of water? I don't think you need to worry at this point, but just keep an eye on it. The nearest I came up with from the disease thread was muscular necrosis, but it doesn't look quite right for that to me?

I know that this is mostly going to end up being a "you've got a throwback" type thing but I'm just interested if anyone who has cherry, orange sakura or bloods has ever seen something like this. Clear blue tint body, red/brown head... All others in tank are either true to type red, orange or slightly tiger n clear pattern ie. Poor quality. Tyia

That is a very pretty shrimp and I have not seen one like that! I have had a lot of wild type shrimps over the years but nothing looking like that.

It's difficult to see it all camouflage in between your rainbow pebbles. But yeah, I like it. That's quite unique.

Hi everyone, Im super new to keeping shrimps. I’ve had a couple of cherry shrimps for about a week now and one of them has a strange white colouring on their back it appeared overnight/this morning and I’m not sure if I should be worried. Thanks, Ben
