Red Tiger Bee Shrimp - Caridina cf. Mariae

The Red Tiger Bee Shrimp (Caridina cf. mariae) is a striking and selectively bred dwarf shrimp variety, known for its vivid red striping over a translucent white to slightly bluish body. Its pattern resembles a classic tiger, with sharp horizontal bands that vary from bold to broken—making each individual unique. These shrimp are a beautiful choice for hobbyists looking to add refined contrast and movement to planted or species-dedicated aquariums.

Red Tiger Bees are part of the Caridina family and require soft, acidic water with stable parameters. They thrive in well-established, low-flow tanks with live plants, mosses, and ample biofilm. Due to their sensitivity, they are best kept in shrimp-only setups or with very gentle nano fish like ember tetras or chili rasboras.
