Testimonial

"The shrimp farm was simply awesome. I have been in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years and had multiple mail orders for fish and invertebrates. The service by the shrimp farm was top notch. Their customer service was quick to respond to my inquiries about my order and acted quickly and promptly to a concern I had, which I think says a lot. The shrimp arrived in great condition, neatly packaged, and all healthy and active. Great customer service, great product, and great price. I would not hesitate to refer them to a friend. "

Blue Tiger shrimp History

The Blue Tiger Shrimp with orange eyes has not been around the shrimp keeping hobby for long. The wild type of these shrimp originates from South East Asia, and has been bred into these vibrant blue colors with orange eyes.

Blue Tiger shrimp Care

These shrimp are relativly easy to take care of. They can even be kept in water with high pH, but these are not ideal circumstances for them! As with all shrimp, it is recommended to keep a sponge filter in the aquarium to prevent potential baby shrimp from being sucked into it. These shrimp like very clean water, so no issues with this extra filtration!

Blue Tiger shrimp Diet

The Blue tiger shrimp will eat algae, but it is recommended to also feed some food pellets to keep them fed. Feeding is only required once per day, especially once there are baby shrimp in the tank.

Blue Tiger shrimp Breeding

The blue tiger shrimp does not breed true. Its offspring will of course have the blue coloration but not all. They will all however have the orange eyes!
