Tangerine Tiger Caridina Shrimp

The Tangerine Tiger Shrimp is a freshwater shrimp variant prized for its vibrant, translucent orange-to-yellow coloration and brown spotting and striping on its body. Unlike many other Caridina varieties that require very specific, soft-water setups, Tangerine Tigers are adaptable. They are tolerant of a wider range of water parameters, making them a user-friendly entry point into the hobby. Their bright, consistent color provides a warm contrast against green aquatic mosses and dark substrates.

As aquatic pets, Tangerine Tigers are resilient and active. They are excellent candidates for community shrimp aquariums because they can thrive in parameters that overlap with those of other species. As long as they are properly acclimated and protected from sudden swings in temperature or pH, they are a hardy and long-lived addition to your shrimp tank.
