Blue Galaxy Tiger Shrimp S-SS

The Blue Galaxy Tiger Shrimp is a stunning Caridina species, highly sought after for its deep blue coloration, galaxy-like speckles, and tiger-like stripes. This visually captivating shrimp combines the elegance of a rich blue hue with intricate white or light-colored spots and bold stripes, making it a standout addition to any aquarium. The Blue Galaxy Tiger Shrimp is the result of meticulous selective breeding, requiring stable and pristine conditions to thrive.

These shrimp require a soft, slightly acidic water environment with consistent and stable parameters. The ideal pH range is 5.8 to 6.4, general hardness (GH) of 4-6, and carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0. The temperature should be maintained between 68°F and 74°F (20°C to 23°C). A heavily planted tank with moss, leaf litter, and driftwood promotes biofilm growth and provides natural shelter. A soft substrate is recommended to mimic their natural habitat and support their foraging behavior.

Feeding should include high-quality shrimp-specific food, enriched with minerals to enhance their coloration and overall health. Occasional blanched vegetables and protein-based supplements can provide additional nutrition. Clean, stable water quality with minimal nitrate levels is crucial, as the Blue Galaxy Tiger Shrimp is sensitive to water fluctuations. They are best kept in species-specific tanks or with other peaceful Caridina varieties to reduce stress. Due to their delicate nature, these shrimp are ideal for advanced keepers who can provide a consistent and suitable environment.
