Very nice hybrid red tiger
Interesting variation. Xmant bro, care to share what you mix to achieve that hybrid?
Sorry bro, can't share that part.Originally Posted by Zenith82
They took me more than a year to develop them. Only this generation, their parents started to throw out the hybrid red tiger. No red tiger is involved in the development.
Bro....
Beauty...
Went to GC ask for GEBT...
But no more stocks...
How many pieces you got at the start?
GC has out of stock on GE Black Tiger since quite some time ago.
I got a pair from them since somewhere April this year. Only managed to breed a few. The shrimplets are highly sensitive.
The water parameters that I have adopted are different from the norm.
And they are different from CRS. They need gH of 8 at least. I housed them in slightly more than acidic at around pH 6.
Very nice hybrid red tiger. The first few with whites are like tiger CRS.
Hope they breed well and the genes will stabalise for you
tks for sharing, probally new strain?
very nice indeed
Bro Xman
Thanks for sharing this beauty......love them so much.... and I can imagine the time and effort that you have put in to get this result... Kudos for you and hope Singapore will have our own strain of shrimp that can be sold to world wide......

Thanks.
Thanks.
Me, also hope so. More work is needed to be done.
Yes, my own hybrid strain. Other part of the world might have already worked on it.
Yes, the amount of work done was uncountable. Initial stage is always the most difficult to get different species to cross among each other. the outcome has to depend a bit of luck too.
Hoping to see them at GC again...
They look much much better then bkk...
Awesome looking shrimps! Can I ask if there's a difference in keeping them in high gh compared to low gh? Will they(tigers) breed in 'normal' crs water? I'm having problems getting my golden eye blues to breed.
Hard to tell you exactly what is the correct way of getting them to breed.
My general practice would be asking the water parameters from the breeder when I purchased them. This will be the best water parameters to keep them surviving and breeding. All breeders' parameters are not totally alike. Therefore, it is not wise to assume and force the shrimps to adapt to your current tank water parameters or the parameters that you had read on forums.
However, you could slowly deviate from their norm parameters over a long period of time like 6-9 mths. Sometime it can be shorter. It depends very much on the shrimp itself, no fix rule.
When time is ripe, they will simply breed. I didn't apply any enhancer in my breeding program. I let them breed naturally. This will reduce the death rate.
I hope you would find this useful in your shrimp keeping.
I actually got them as shrimplets and they have adapted well so far. Now they are already adult size but haven't been breeding. I'm keeping them along with my bds and crs. Perhaps they have not matured yet, just big sized. They should be around 4 mths old
Just give them 1 more mth time, they should be able to breed for you.
If you feed them well, they should be in their breeding at 3-4 mths old for GE Blue tiger. GE Black tiger took a bit longer according to my experience.
