Care Requirements:
Tangerine Tigers are among the most adaptable Caridina shrimp, making them a great choice for both new and experienced keepers.

They do best in:

  • Moss- or plant-heavy tanks for natural grazing

  • Low-flow filtration like sponge or matten filters

  • Tanks free of copper and large/aggressive fish

Diet:
Feed a varied diet of shrimp-specific food, biofilm enhancers, blanched vegetables, and natural detritus. Avoid overfeeding to maintain water quality.
