Orange-Eye Blue Tiger (OEBT)

A variant of Tiger shrimp (Caridina mariae)

Orange-Eye Blue Tiger (OEBT)

Representative Tiger shrimpphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

The most prized tiger: a deep blue body crossed with dark tiger stripes and bright orange eyes, combining the blue-tiger and orange-eye traits. Blue intensity ranges from pale 'royal blue' to near-black, and the orange eye is the defining recessive-leaning trait.

Keeper tips for this variant

OEBT are far more demanding than tangerine or wild tigers: hold soft, stable low-TDS water and subdued lighting, since stress, bright light, or high TDS wash the blue toward grey. Keep an OEBT-only colony so the orange eye and blue body stay fixed.
