    These tiger shrimps are very interesting, they have 2 recessive genes. One is the black and one is golden eyes.







    You can find variation of pattern ranging from 50% coverage to 100% coverage and the eyes can be black, light color with centre black or golden. The above pictures shown the darkest form they can be with golden eyes.

    Water parameter wise, they do well from 6.5 to 8. They live in condition thatis suitable for normal tiger.

    brother silane currently keeping them? The website mentioned something about their gene's implication on their lifespan and survival stability.

    Do you find them harder to keep as the normal genes one? Are they fussier, required more special parameters etc.?? Are their lifespan shorter?
