Has done something strange lol. Last night he came out and was filter feeding on a piece of slate that is purple in the tank (cause I dont know if the fact that it is purple has anything to do with it or not) and .. he was RED! It was crazy! Because they are usually this brown color, like dead bamboo. I have two in there and I have found that they shed too recently. Do they change colors to blend or what?

Hi Amber. I found this online about your shrimp:

The Asian Filter Shrimp is commonly sold as the "Bamboo Shrimp" or "Wood Shrimp" in pet stores. The asian filter shrimp's usual coloration when in stores is brownish. However, when they are fed enough food and are feeling comfortable they turn a nice, dark red and develop a white line down their back.

I guess your shrimp feels comfy!
