Tangerine Tiger Shrimp
Live arrival guaranteed · Quarantined in Vancouver · Ships Monday–Wednesday
Caridina cantonensis — Orange Tiger: vivid orange body crossed with dark tiger banding.
Tiger genetics bring a different pattern vocabulary to the premium tier — stripes instead of bands and spots. Orange Tiger is the most visually striking entry point into the tiger group and rounds out a collection that already has bees and pintos.
