Cardinal and Blue Tiger shrimps co-habiting

Post by Golden_Eyes »

Hi all,

I am pleased to report that all my blue tiger shrimps are well, feeding and moutling fast.

There are some Cardinal shrimps in the tank too as I was lucky enough to discover some.

Can they cross-breed? I am hoping to avoid this.

This chart doesn't show this.

Thanks if you can help.

For your information, yes they can co-habit and they do not cross breed. I have some rocks for the Sulawesi shrimps and mossballs for both. They are very happy and sitting in groups, feeding. They are all alive and well after 2 days. I must have some stock bred Sulawesi shrimps rather than wild imported (the way I prefer for their own health and happiness).

A Cardinal shrimp moulted succesfully whilst I was wiriting this and is finding its feet! Many tigers have grown since I first had them 2/3 weeks ago. They are all happy so far.
