I've had them for one month, and I've noticed that they don't look as clear as when I bought them... I was wondering if there was any reason they would be turning green???

I have heard of a few cases of this on this forum before. Its most likely caused by their diet, another member said his lived off java moss and started turning green. Hope that helps!

Maybe your shrimp are getting sick or has bcwcat22 wrote it maybe their diet. I don't really know because I never had any!!

Either they are eating green stuff and your seeing it inside their digestive tract or they are carrying eggs. Ghost shrimp eggs are carried along the bottom of the shrimp and are a bright color.

It is not just their digestive tracts, and even the ones without eggs have it... It is most ounced in the joints/seams in the shell...
