With its unique pattern and colouration due to its unique genetics that come from being bred by mixing Taiwan bee shrimp and tiger shrimp, resulting to create a tibee shrimp, as such, and a taitibee, an offspring as next of kin where the pinto patterns will start to become more visible. The Pinto shrimp is one of the “fancy shrimps”, with the striking contrast of red or black against white that is not seen in many shrimp aquarium. They are more challenging to breed with higher requirements and a popular choice for planted aquariums. Dwarf ornamental shrimps are tiny in size (2 cm to 3 cm) and they have become the ideal resident in nano aquariums and aquascapes due to their grazing of organic matters and algae consumption while adding a colorful touch and life to any scape.
Shrimps could not be kept with all fish except Micro varieties which we specify to be compatible with shrimps (please check and read our product descriptions).
Shrimps also require slow drip acclimation when introducing them to your aquarium, please check the parameters below to match the requirement for optimum conditions.
