Information by wood :
The Red Tiger Shrimp is the red-striped sibling of the common Tiger Shrimp. The red variety is found in China. Its coloration is not selectively bred nor a mutation of the common Tiger Shrimp, it is indeed red-striped in the wild.
Care for this species is the exact same as the Tiger Shrimp. It does not have specific requirements since it is red. It would be very interesting to cross breed this species with the Blue Tiger Shrimp or even the Black Tiger Shrimp to see what would happen.
More information forthcoming...
