Red Fancy Tiger

You will receive red fancy tiger shrimp that will differ in pattern, no pattern is the same. These will be regular grades and a mix of patterns. The great thing about Red Fancy Tiger shrimp is that they vary in pattern so drastically, and all are so beautiful. We sell dwarf 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 freshwater 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 shrimp hobbyist. 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 shrimp.
