The Red Fancy Tiger Shrimp is a striking Caridina variety prized for its bold red coloration and distinct tiger-like striping. Each shrimp displays a one-of-a-kind pattern, making them a standout addition to any shrimp collection. The ones purchased here will range from A-SS grade.
Originally developed by crossing Tiger Shrimp with pure Red Line shrimp, the Red Fancy Tiger quickly became a favorite among breeders aiming for intricate patterns and vibrant, opaque colors. Grading for Fancy Tigers is based on shell thickness, pattern clarity, and color intensity, with grades ranging from A up to SSS, the highest standard. When a Red Fancy Tiger displays predominantly white coloration, it’s referred to as a White Dominant Fancy Tiger.
Known for their peaceful nature and algae-grazing habits, Red Fancy Tigers thrive in remineralized RO water and should be kept away from copper-based fertilizers. They offer both a visual spectacle and a rewarding breeding project for dedicated hobbyists.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 🎯 Unique red and white striping patterns
- 🏆 Thicker, more opaque shells at higher grades
- ✨ Potential for White Dominant variations
All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments for optimal health and acclimation.
Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.
