Jaykidding Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello Everyone, I'm wondering who here keeps royal blue tigers, what are their parameters that they keep them in, and what type of substrate the use. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHe Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I used to keep it in neos parameters. I use pool sand as substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Is petco regular black sand fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Is petco regular black sand fine? I don't like it. It release oil film to the surface. and for blue shrimp, pool sand is better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have five tanks in the black Petco sand with no trouble but I agree that the blues are better in pool sand. I made that mistake and moved all my blues to the pool sand pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 How much for the pool sand and where. Also I have so many petco sand I don't use and I don't want it to go to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 We pay $11.00 for 50lbs for pool sand. The only reason I put my blues on it versus the black is so we can see them. My Bloody Marys, Neon Yellows, Red Tigers, and Tangerine Tigers are all on black. OEBTs and Blue Dream are on pool and I may switch the Red Tigers to pool too for better visibility.

Jaykidding Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Yes I understand, does anyone keep the royal blues in bee parameters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesays Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have two colonies going at the moment. 180 TDS, 6 GH, 3 KH They are in eco-complete substrate which is basically crushed lava stones I believe. The small nooks and crannies provide a bit more surface area for micro fauna to grow, they are constantly picking through the substrate.

DETAquarium Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have never kept RBT, but I did keep OEBT with my Taiwan Bee Tank. They did fantastic, just be sure to take your time in acclimating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Or buy from someone keeping them in Bee parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedaquarium Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 hi there, at what temp would OEBTS or RBTs be able to breed at? would 25 to 28 C be ok or would it be too hot for them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Tigers like cool temps best. 70F to 72F is best in my opinion. Ive kept them in higher but they didn't do well and didn't breed. Tigers like OEBT and Royal Blues take a bit of time to like their environments before breeding, not like CRS.
