One of my tiger shrimps have turned orange.
DO you think it's because she is berried? Stressed? or something esle?

Orange Tiger Shrimp - what's going on?
- Thread starter Steverd
- Start date
Many shimp will deepen their color in an effort to blend in with their surroundings and yours just happens to work. This could be it but to know for sure, what are your water parameters? Thankmates? Are you adding any chemicals to the tank? Salt?
It is possibly due her being berried.
Hormonal levels do affect coloration in dwarf shrimp. Especially in Noecaridina species. Usually cherry red shrimp will have a Brighter color when berried.
I dont think its anything to be concerned about.

Temp 74f, Amm: 0 and Nitrites are 0
BUT I just found that the PH in that tank had dropped to below 6.0
I try to keep the PH more around 7.0 but I do have ADA soil in that tank.
That off seats out high 7.8 tap water.
Also I found her UNDER some drift wood in a dark spot!
Only tank mates are snails.
Thank you,
Steve
I also had one Neocaridina turn burgundy.
Just looks like a healthy, happy mother shrimp to me. Good colours are usually a sign everything is going fine unless the shrimp is turning white.
yup, as long as there is not any weird opacity its nothing to worry about. She looks great to me.
