Tangerine Tiger shrimp (Caridina serrata) are a warm orange Caridina with faint tiger striping and, often, orange eggs visible in berried females.
They are the most forgiving Caridina you can keep — happy in the pH 6.5–7.5, GH 4–8 range, and they will breed in conditions where Crystal and Taiwan Bee lines would struggle. A sensible first step into Caridina keeping.
They will hybridise with Tiger and bee-type Caridina, so keep the species separate if you want clean lines.
