Orange Eye Yellow Tiger Shrimp

The Orange Eye Yellow Tiger Shrimp, a striking Caridina variety, is known for its vibrant yellow body with unique tiger-like stripes and captivating orange eyes. These shrimp are a favorite among hobbyists due to their bold coloration and intriguing pattern. The combination of their bright yellow hues and distinctive orange eyes makes them a standout addition to planted aquariums.

To ensure their health and vibrant coloration, Orange Eye Yellow Tiger Shrimp require stable, soft, slightly acidic water. Their ideal pH range is 6.0 to 6.5, with a general hardness (GH) of 4-6 and a carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0. The temperature should be maintained between 68°F and 74°F (20°C to 23°C). These shrimp thrive in heavily planted tanks with moss and leaf litter to encourage biofilm growth and provide hiding spots. A soft substrate is preferred, as it mimics their natural habitat and allows them to forage comfortably.

A balanced diet is essential for maintaining their health and coloration. Feeding should include high-quality shrimp-specific food enriched with minerals, occasional blanched vegetables, and protein-based treats. Regular water changes and a high-quality filtration system are crucial for keeping water quality pristine. Orange Eye Yellow Tiger Shrimp can coexist peacefully with other Caridina varieties but are best suited for species-specific tanks to reduce stress. These shrimp are ideal for intermediate to advanced keepers who can maintain consistent water parameters.
