I tink so too... but its very blue... will see if it will turn red again....

This time i shall observe if it returns back to its original colour..... hmmm... the last time it happens...

i took out the blue shrimp to another fish tank.... it disappeared... no chance to see if it colour returns....

Sakura will never be blue. Blue shrimp will change to dark brown and have a prominent strip behind their back (head to tail). I suspect when you bought your sakura, it comes with dark brown shrimp which turns blue.

Your blue shrimps look like mine here.

I also am puzzled... yes they look the same and i am quite sure they have the same bloodline.... but like i mentioned, i am sure it was red initially....

You kept a wonderful tank of sakuras but I'm surprised that you want to sell them away.
