Red Fancy Tiger – Mid Grade

You will receive red fancy tiger shrimp that will differ in pattern, these patterns will be bold and represent our mid-grade selection. The great thing about Red 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.  

Red fancy tiger shrimp are a mix between tiger shrimp and crystal red shrimp.  We keep these shrimp at the parameters below. In our experience, these shrimp are very hardy and have done well for us. Through importing these guys, we have lost very few. The red fancy tiger is a must-have for all aquarium shrimp hobbyists. The contrast between the red and white is very appealing. They are a great change from the typical red and white patterns found in crystal red dwarf shrimp.
