Vibrant orange body with dark tiger stripes
Eye-catching movement and pattern contrast

Algae grazers that help maintain a clean tank environment
Tangerine Tigers thrive best in soft, slightly acidic water with stable parameters:
Temperature: 20–25°C (68–77°F)
pH: 6.0–6.8
GH: 4–6
KH: 0–2
TDS: 100–160 ppm

Use active substrate and gentle filtration to maintain Caridina-safe conditions.
These shrimp are undemanding omnivores that will graze throughout the day:
Premium shrimp-specific food (sticks, wafers, or granules)
Blanched vegetables (zucchini, kale, spinach)
Biofilm and algae naturally forming on surfaces
Occasional protein (baby brine shrimp, daphnia, spirulina)
Moderate feeding ensures water stays clean and shrimp remain active.
Tangerine Tiger Shrimp breed readily under proper Caridina parameters:
Females carry small, dark eggs for 3–4 weeks
Shrimplets hatch fully formed and feed on biofilm immediately
Provide dense mosses or leaf litter for higher baby survival
Can be selectively bred or crossed with other Caridina types (e.g., Taiwan Bees or Pintos)

Selective breeding or Caridina hybrid projects
Softwater shrimp colonies
