strange colour. i've seen only bluish pieces but brown.. hmm.. did u feed any colour enhancing foods?

nope.
I didn't purposely feed it but it can get food from leftover/unfinish frozen blood worm.

hmm.. strange. nevermind lah. just enjoy your unique yamato then.

Mine was red too. I believe it's the spirulina in the pellets that cause the redness.

could it be the drift wood?

Diet is know to affect the shirmp coloration. Wood and spirulina are possible factors causing the brownish/reddish coloration.
