About
The Blue Tiger Orange Eye shrimp is a stunning variant of the Tiger shrimp line, featuring a cool blue body with dark tiger-style stripes and distinctively glowing orange eyes that create dramatic contrast. Requires soft slightly acidic water similar to other Tiger Caridina species. Highly prized by collectors for its unique body and eye colouration combination.
Care Guide
Maintain soft, slightly acidic water: pH 6.0–7.0, GH 4–8, KH 0–3, TDS 100–200 ppm. Use aqua soil or inert substrate with RO/DI remineralised water. Keep in species-specific or Caridina-only setups. Feed fine shrimp foods, biofilm, and occasional blanched vegetables. Avoid copper and hard water from tap sources.
