The Tiger Shrimp in its classic wild type pattern and color is one of the hardier selections for its ability to adapt to wider range of water parameters compared to other caridina shrimps. 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.
