CARING INFORMATION
Ideal for enthusiasts with prior shrimp-keeping experience seeking a fresh challenge, Red Fancy Tigers are known for their compatibility and non-aggressive nature. These shrimp primarily dedicate their time to foraging on algae and biofilm present on plants, glass, and substrate. A general guideline recommends maintaining approximately 10 shrimp per gallon for a harmonious environment.
Caring for the Red Fancy Tiger shrimp is relatively straightforward, requiring remineralized RO water. If you use fertilizers in their tank, ensure they are copper-free, as copper can be detrimental to the shrimp’s well-being.
