Red Tiger Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis), 0.75"
Description
The Red Tiger Caridina Shrimp are highly sought-after freshwater shrimp known for their translucent bodies accented with vivid red striping and delicate patterning.As a Caridina Bee Shrimp line, it is more sensitive than Neocaridina shrimp and best suited to dedicated or species-only shrimp aquariums. Adults typically reach 1-1.5 inches in length and should be kept in groups of 10 or more to promote natural behavior and reduce stress. They are peaceful omnivorous micro-grazers, feeding primarily on biofilm and algae, supplemented with high-quality Caridina shrimp foods, mineral supplements, and occasional blanched vegetables. Tank mates should be limited to other Caridina shrimp or none at all, as fish often pose a predation risk. With careful acclimation and stable conditions, Red Tiger Shrimp are stunning, rewarding additions for advanced freshwater shrimp keepers.
