O.E. BLUE TIGER – 金眼蓝虎【10 PCS FREE 1 / SET】

The Orange Eye Blue Tiger Shrimp with orange eyes is a color variation of the wild-type tiger shrimp, which originates from South East Asia. It has been selectively bred to produce vibrant blue coloration and striking orange eyes. They have a lifespan of 1 – 2 years, and when fully grown, they reach a size of 0.75 – 1.5 inches. They are available for purchase at a size of 0.75 – 0.95 inches. Blue Tiger Shrimp are non-aggressive and are quite active. In an aquarium that has no predators, Blue Tiger Shrimp will often be observed grazing on algae on aquarium plants, decorations, and on the substrate. When fed, the shrimp will often form large groups that are quite striking in appearance.

These shrimp are relativly easy to take care of. They can even be kept in water with high pH, but these are not ideal circumstances for them! As with all shrimp, it is recommended to keep a sponge filter in the aquarium to prevent potential baby shrimp from being sucked into it. These shrimp like very clean water, so no issues with this extra filtration! As with all aquatic invertebrates, it is important to make sure copper does not get into the aquarium. Copper is toxic to all Dwarf Shrimp. Many medications contain elevated levels of copper, so it is recommended not to medicate an aquarium with Dwarf Shrimp in it.
