    I just wanted info on breeding these things? Is it possible? Do they breed as much and easy as cherries? Will they breed in 100% RO water?

    those eating ones call tiger prawn lah :doh:
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Hi,

    Tiger is more sensitive as compare to cherry.

    Maybe you want to try out cherry and see how first.

    John, tiger shrimps do much better in colder water so if you have an aircon room or a chiller that would be very good. they do breed very easily but I should warn you that they seem to hybridise with bee shrimp. they do not hybridise with cherries.

    I have experience with ghost, cherry, amano, bumble bee, and ninja shrimp in my current tank, so that's why I want a tiger only tank. With 16 C temperature. Is that fine?

    actually 16 C is too cold but if u kept the rest at this temp and they are fine carry on. If not I think 16C will make them retarded. They will become slow in movement that's what I exp b4 that is....

    hope this helps

    I think around 22°C is more ideal.
