Red Fancy Tiger A-SS (Medium Grade)
Red Fancy Tiger A-SS (Medium Grade)
The Red Fancy Tiger shrimp is a captivating addition for shrimp enthusiasts. These unique creatures feature bold stripes and distinctive patterns that vary from one individual to another, making each one truly unique. Grading the Fancy Tigers is based on factors like shell thickness, color opacity, and pattern, with grades ranging from A to SSS, the highest. If a Fancy Tiger is predominantly white, it's called a White Dominant Fancy Tiger.
These shrimp result from a breeding mix of tiger shrimp and pure red lines, with breeders working to achieve the desired pattern. They offer a fascinating breeding project for hobbyists seeking to obtain the highest-grade Fancy Tigers. With care similar to other shrimp, keeping around 10 Fancy Tigers per gallon is ideal, and they are non-aggressive algae and biofilm eaters. However, they require remineralized RO water and should not be exposed to copper-containing fertilizers. The Red Fancy Tiger adds a unique and challenging aspect to shrimp keeping, offering various patterns and a striking red appearance.
The Red Fancy Tiger A-SS (Medium Grade) displays unique body patterning and leg coverage. Each shrimp will have its own distinct pattern, with varying levels of color and transparency.

Shrimp came well packed with some moss to keep them protected. None died which is nice to see! They are very very young though and likely not breedable for another couple of months. Shipping took a while from order as well. All in all pleased just will try to anticipate longer shipping and young age in future orders.
Highly recommended! Just received 30 Red Fancy Tigers from this seller and they are very high quality even for mid-grade. Great communication and excellent packaging too!
