Cherry shrimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I got my cherry shrimp today in the mail and i noticed that the color wasn't very prominent like at first glance i thought i got jipped and got ghost shrimp but then i saw faint streaks of red... will they stay like this? or do they get redder when they grow, or did they just fade in color temporarily due to being shipped?

    they will loose colour when being shipped due to different temp changes , and the movement should effect them, they should get there colour back over time. but try feeding them Algae tablets, to boost out there red again. and i hope they work out fine.

    probably were frikin scared dude!

    lets see you get put in a box, and then the water going haywire. and having "billy" from in the corner making a move on ya!!

    its stressful, dude, after you introduce them in your tank and wait a couple days, they'll be redder then a tomato... or a cherry...

    mine weren't very red when i got them, but they turned red, so your will probably turn full red too.
