Tigers

Will everyone that breeds tigers with a high shrimplet survival rate please share your known water parameters?

Thank you much.

Thanks for sharing. No one else?

I have done OEBT in an acidic tank before. I believe it is hard to do but this is what they were breeding at for me. I think I just got really lucky.

ADA Amazonia

Temp: 74-76

Ph: below 6

GH: 5-6

Kh: 0

TDS: 150-180

Again take that with a grain of salt. I was surprised they were even breeding (especially since I only had 1 female and 2 males haha). They had 3 clutches before I took the tank down.

I believe most Tigers prefer to be at Fishprinceofca's water chemistry

Good luck!

My parameters match this pretty closely. Although i would say my shrimplet survival rate isnt great. My tangerines do well but my red tigers are lacking in breeding unfortunately. I believe this may have been different factors at play here though. I was using tap water until a couple months ago (now ro with remineralizer) and I believe the water flow in the tank/o2 was low causing some dead spots in the tank. I increased flow and added an airstone and i believe shrimplet survival and over health is already better.

Bought around 10 red/black Fancy Tigers from Joe's to add to my TB tank back in July for a Pinto project, I have at least 60-70 now so pretty decent survival rate:
