Description
Red Tiger Shrimp Caridina 2cm
Originating from the freshwater streams of Southeast Asia, Red Tiger Shrimp (Caridina) captivate with their striking red and white striped patterns. These invertebrates thrive in planted aquariums with stable water parameters and are revered for their ease of care, making them an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
Feeding on biofilm, algae, and commercial shrimp pellets, Red Tiger Shrimp are omnivores and appreciate a varied diet for optimal health and coloration. Maintaining stable water conditions with a pH range of 6.2 to 7.2 and a temperature between 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C) ensures their well-being.
When it comes to tank mates, peaceful species like small fish (such as neon tetras or small rasboras), dwarf shrimp, or snails make compatible companions. However, caution is advised when housing them with larger or more aggressive species to prevent potential harm.
These shrimp generally exhibit low levels of aggression, but it’s advisable to provide hiding spots within the aquarium to reduce stress and territorial behavior.
Overall, Red Tiger Shrimp are a captivating and manageable addition to community tanks, showcasing both beauty and ease of care, while rewarding owners with their vibrant presence.”
