I may have some young old enough in 6 to 8 weeks....

That is a good age for a tank to house new Blue Tigers and well matured. But a month is plenty and these guys really need clean water to do well. PH for mine is at 6.6 and temp 74 degrees F.

Some in Germany are breeding and keeping these shrimp in PH 8 or more so if you buy Blue Tiger is is a must to know the breeders water parameters or you may see a slow unexplained (seemingly) die off..... They don't do well acclimating to radically different parameters then they were raised in....

If they have clean water to their liking they will be healthy and breed well as I am learning....

Cheers, Bill
