Blue Tiger Shrimp Orange Eyed

The Blue Tiger Shrimp with orange eyes has not been around the shrimp keeping hobby for long. The wild type of these shrimp originates from South East Asia, and has been bred into these vibrant blue colors with orange eyes.

Blue Tiger Shrimp are non-aggressive and are quite active. In an aquarium that has no predators, Blue Tiger Shrimp will often be observed grazing on algae on aquarium plants, decorations, and on the substrate. When fed, the shrimp will often form large groups that are quite striking in appearance.

These shrimp are relativly easy to take care of. They can even be kept in water with high pH, but these are not ideal circumstances for them! As with all shrimp, it is recommended to keep a sponge filter in the aquarium to prevent potential baby shrimp from being sucked into it. These shrimp like very clean water, so no issues with this extra filtration!

As with all aquatic invertebrates, it is important to make sure copper does not get into the aquarium. Copper is toxic to all Dwarf Shrimp. Many medications contain elevated levels of copper, so it is recommended not to medicate an aquarium with Dwarf Shrimp in it.

These will come in small sizes. Ranging from 1/4″ to 1/2″.
