The Red Tiger Shrimp is a stunning and sought-after Caridina variety, known for its vivid deep red striping on a translucent or golden base, resembling the pattern of a tiger. With their bold coloration and compact size, these shrimp are a perfect addition to planted aquariums, Caridina breeding projects, or decorative nano tanks.

Why Choose Red Tiger Shrimp?
✔ Vivid Red Patterning on a Tiger-Like Body
✔ Perfect for Caridina Hobbyists and Nano Tanks
✔ Peaceful and Ideal for Shrimp-Only or Planted Setups
✔ Easy to Breed with the Right Water Conditions
✔ Hardy Once Acclimated to Proper Parameters
Care Requirements:
Red Tiger Shrimp thrive in stable, soft water conditions and do best in mature aquariums with biofilm, mosses, and leaf litter to graze on. A buffering substrate helps maintain optimal pH and KH levels. They require clean water, minimal swings in parameters, and benefit greatly from low TDS remineralized RO water.
Tank setup suggestions:
Use mosses (e.g., Christmas moss, subwassertang), driftwood, and botanicals
Avoid copper-based medications and aggressive tankmates
Use Indian almond leaves or alder cones to add tannins and microbial film
Diet:
Omnivorous. Feed a variety of high-quality shrimp-specific foods, blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach), biofilm enhancers, and occasional protein-based treats like shrimp lollies or snowflake food.
