    I just saw a red tiger shrimp in the midst of my cherries and other tigers...when i first bought them, they were naturally blue and black stripes on them. Could it be they "interact" with the cherries? I will take a picture to show when i see the Red Tiger comes out from my DW...
    I love my fishes.

    Here are two pics taken when this Red tiger came out of the DW... I am sorry for the unclear pics because i am using my Nokia N80 which is not a camera. Will take more pics of it when i manage to borrow a better camera.

    hmm, the pictures are quite unclear, but from the picture looks like a normal tiger. Waiting for the better camera!

    got such a thing as an albino tiger shrimp? when i bought the packet of tigers, i noticedall blue and black stripes like i said earlier...then when they "interact" with my cherries, one of them became with red stripes... i must say its nice! haa

    i do notice all my shrimps go hide under my DW ley. Is it normal for them or they just shy? or even better still they are breeeding ?

    i will post better pictures when i managed to get that red tiger out again and also with a good camera i need to borrow from my friend

    Sorry to burst the bubble, but these cannot be crosses between Caridina cf. cantonensis "Tiger" (tiger shrimp) and Neocaridina heteropoda var "Red" (cherry shrimp).

    Some tiger shrimps have red stripes. From http://www.shrimpnow.com/modules.php...warticle&id=59

    Yes, a red striped tiger shrimp makes more sense. Congrats bro, i think red striped tiger shrimps are rather rare.

    try visiting them during night time, they are known to be nocturnal creatures.
