Mr. F Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I got these as "low grade CRS" for $5 each, but they're definitely tigers or tibees. I think they look like what I've seen called Fancy Red Tigers, but I don't even know if those are just tigers or tibees. Any info helps, I don't want them in the wrong water params too long if I've misidentified them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpP Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Definitely fancy red tigers in my limited knowledge/experience. So it's a Red Tiger hybrid. Super Red Crystals, low grade CRS, are red with white markings, but the shrimp in the pics, the white is focused along the back and the red tiger stripping is a give away. Usually I see fancy tigers kept in Taiwan Bee params http://www.discobee.com/blogs/news/17030569-shrimp-water-parameters Look under "Fancy Tiger" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah, I was looking at that. But they didn't react well to lower pH when I started acclimation. So I stopped, did some research and checked their water. Decided on neo/tiger params would be best. They're doing fine so far. And the waters almost the same as what I got them in, although who knows what the store did. I think I will change them over to my tb tank if I start to notice any changes for the worse.

mayphly Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I've gotten taitibee and blue aura tibee that look like fancy red tigers as well. It's very difficult to say what shrimp was used to breed this fancy tiger. It could be Caridina cantonensis or Caridina Serrata. Both will have similar results.

DETAquarium Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Tibee or Taitibee, not a Red Tiger on its own, it was certainly cross bred intentionally or accidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. F Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Kinda look like my low grade crs They're almost certainly tibee so that's probably the bee part of the cross. B or C pattern CRS x some kind of tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
