Tigori Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Gorgeous! I will ask some folks also if they know anything about it randy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The name I am given was Pearl Tiger (direct translation), not sure if that helps. The breeder keeps them in CRS parameters (not sure if necessary). They do look like to share a lot of features with super tigers. And it's said that they will carry different colour hue so a lot in a tank makes a christmas tree effect, I find that the case with regular tigers from certain source too.

Tigori Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Might be related to leopard shrimps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesays Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Neat looking shrimp for sure! Was this the result from mixing with the leopard shrimp that was brought up some time ago? http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/841-leopard-shrimp/ Tigori 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Very interesting. I thought at first it was a "Super Tiger", but definitely a different pattern. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Chinese. I was told its a wild type...not from cross bred. But take it for what its worth. Some asked so I might as well say it here, the price for these will just be a tad more than super tigers. I should have them when I come back from my Taiwan trip. slycat929, countryboy12484, Tigori and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigori Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes I will get some after I come back from Taiwan.I got the same info about that its a new wild type caught in china. It seems like there's no english name yet but they can breed with crystals/taiwans and probably tigers too.Might be nice to try and breed tibees with these guys [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigori Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Also, this is not a caridina cantonensis and is actually much closer to caridina rubropunctata. I'll update you again hopefully before 2015 to know to which group it lands on. Who knows maybe it will be on a new one? randy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
