Big Tiger Shrimps

Post by snemeis »

Dear all

Recently I have purchased 50 Tigers and 50 Bees & 10 Mosquito Shrimps from a LFS,

After a week I noticed that some of the tigers are blue (very uncommon) and some of them are growing to a size of about 1 inch, similar like those of mid size yamatos.

Not much growth are noted for the Bees.

Is the above unusual? I mean for a tiger to grow to that size.

Has anyone come across the above?

Thanks in advance.

It's not unusual. Most algae eating shrimp eventually get to be about that large or even larger.
