Jade Galaxy Tiger Shrimp

The Jade Galaxy Tiger Shrimp is a stunning and highly sought-after Caridina shrimp variety. Known for its unique blend of vibrant green or jade-like coloration and intricate tiger-like stripes, this shrimp adds a striking aesthetic to aquariums. The galaxy speckles on the body, combined with the bold tiger stripes, make this shrimp a standout. These shrimp are the result of meticulous selective breeding, and their exquisite appearance makes them a prized choice for advanced shrimp enthusiasts.

To care for Jade Galaxy Tiger Shrimp, precise and stable water parameters are critical. The ideal pH range is 5.8 to 6.4, with a general hardness (GH) of 4-6 and a carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0 to maintain the slightly acidic and soft water they require. The temperature should be kept between 68°F and 74°F (20°C to 23°C). These shrimp thrive in well-established, heavily planted tanks with moss and leaf litter to promote biofilm growth and provide hiding spots. Clean, stable water with low nitrate levels is essential, as Jade Galaxy Tiger Shrimp are sensitive to poor water quality.

A high-quality diet is important to maintain their health and vibrant coloration. Feeding should include shrimp-specific food rich in minerals, occasional blanched vegetables, and protein-based supplements. Due to their sensitivity and specialized care requirements, they are best suited for experienced shrimp keepers who can maintain stable water conditions and ensure a stress-free environment.
