Black Fancy Tiger Shrimp

Black Fancy Tiger

You will receive black fancy tiger shrimp that will differ in pattern, no pattern is the same. The great thing about Black Fancy Tiger shrimp is that they vary in pattern so drastically, and all are so beautiful. We sell tiger shrimp usually around half an inch. The smaller they are, the easier it is to acclimate them to a new aquarium. The shrimp will reach breeding age within a month of receiving them.  

Black fancy tiger shrimp are a mix between tiger shrimp and crystal black shrimp.  We keep these shrimp at the parameters below. In our experience, these shrimp are very hardy and have done well for us. They have high survival rates when imported from Taiwan. The black fancy tiger is a must-have for all aquarium shrimp hobbyists. The Black Fancy Tiger gives more options to hobbyists for a black Caridina shrimp while also offering a range of patterns not present prior to the black fancy tiger being introduced.
