    I have a Babaulti that gets that color sometimes, other that these times it is just brown. But the strip is very prominent.

    I know one of my babaultis is more brown than green as well. It's not quite as dark as the shrimp in your pic though.

    A lot of my older female cherries get a stripe like that, I wonder if it is a color mutation of a cherry?

    Kind of like this

    From what I've read, people say a lot of the wild ones have the stripes on them. Yellows, greens and cherries can have these stripe as well.

    Assuming the colour in the photo is accurate, it looks an awful lot like the blueberry shrimp that passed around early this year.
