Red Fancy Tiger Caridina Shrimp – Bold Red & White Pattern

Red Fancy Tiger is a Caridina shrimp recognised for its vivid red and white coloration and distinctive Tiger-style patterning. The photographed shrimp displays strong red markings broken by broad white-to-cream areas, forming irregular bands and patterned sections from the head through the abdomen. Red pigmentation also extends into portions of the legs, adding further detail to the phenotype. Individual Red Fancy Tiger shrimp can naturally vary in red coverage, white pattern placement and overall pattern density, making this established Fancy Tiger line an attractive choice for Caridina collectors, breeders and planted aquarium displays.

Care Notes

Red Fancy Tiger shrimp are best maintained in a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable soft-water conditions. A buffering active substrate paired with remineralised RO water is commonly used to maintain the low KH and mildly acidic environment preferred by Fancy Tiger Caridina. Provide established biofilm, mosses and other grazing surfaces alongside a balanced shrimp diet. Avoid rapid changes in temperature, TDS or mineral concentration, particularly during water changes. Careful acclimation and consistent water chemistry help support healthy moulting, long-term maintenance and breeding, with stability taking priority over continually adjusting parameters.
