Tangerine Tiger Shrimp

Caridina cantonensis — the Tangerine Tiger brings a vivid orange body crossed with dark tiger banding. Tiger genetics add a different pattern vocabulary to the tank — stripes instead of bands and spots — and this is the most eye-catching entry point into the group. Note: tigers are typically a little more forgiving than high-end bees but still want soft, acidic water.At a glance Species: Caridina cantonensis (tiger type) Colour: orange with dark tiger striping Care at a glance Water: 20–24°C, pH 6.0–6.8, GH 4–6 (soft, acidic — RO water remineralized with a Caridina-specific GH+ mineral) Care level: advanced — stable parameters are essential Diet: biofilm plus quality shrimp foods, mineral supplements and the occasional blanched vegetable Tank mates: best kept in a dedicated Caridina/Taiwan-bee tank; avoid fish that prey on shrimplets Why buy from Cherry Shrimp Canada?
