Information 
 
One of the most popular freshwater aquarium shrimp worldwide. Tiger shrimp are beautiful, active shrimp that will make their presence known in your tank.  Tiger shrimp are not shy, if you provide them with some hiding places, thy will spend the majority of their time grazing on the tank floor or wandering through your plants. Their stripe pattern is very distinct and they are definately an eye catcher. Selective breeding has led to several different variations of Tiger Shrimp being to make an appearance such as the Blue Tiger or Red striped Tiger. We will be listing several of the morphs soon as well as offering them in our webstore.
