Werner Klotz has recently presented a video of Tiger shrimps in their natural habitat (download WMV-file). As a big Tiger Shrimp lover, I grab every info I get get. Wild Tiger Shrimps show even wider stripes and more color variation as most peolpe know. Like in other cardina types, the color comes in different ‘layers’ in the exoskeleton: You have fire-red, then purple, then black stripes; sometimes in interdependance to the body coloration.

Here are some picture of my former Supertiger and Wild Tiger Shrimp. I have had body colorations in all primary colors, say: yellow, red, blue, green.

Check out also this video on youtube by ASSA, showing another caridina biotope.
