Did you try to use URL or IMG code??? Do u know the difference?? Why not read the URL I that posted to you on how to use VBcode?

There is no restriction in using IMG tag to make a image appear.

I had this exact thing happen to me when I was keeping tigers. It died shortly after changing to this bright red color.

Crap... I've had a few deaths recently, so was fearing the worst. Did you find out what caused the change in colour?

Hi,
this specimen will die soon. This change of color is an indication that something is wrong. I can't tell you for sure what causes it because you didn't tell us more about your tank, your water and so on. Let's up just a single specimen shows this and the rest is healthy.

I saw such coloration several times among my tiger shrimps. Very old shrimps showed it and they died within two weeks.

Looks like a zombie shrimp, looks kinda dead but still moving.

I've seen that to my shrimp also, usually when I first buy them and add to my tank. They die within days of that color, I've also notice that happens to bee shrimp.

My guess is old age. I didn't have any water quality problems.

some of my japonica shrimps did that to me a while ago..when i started to add micro fert into the tank without reading wat was in it...later on finding out that there was a high % of copper in the fert...so maybe thats the cause but im not sure just a guess?

Most shrimps turn reddish when they are dying. Excluding those naturally red like cherries of course. :p

It will be really cool if your shrimp remained this way and isn't the problem of dying, looks nice.

I also think that there´s something wrong, but if not, try to get offspring and sell them for a lot of money as new colored tiger!

Today it died.... :'-(
