Hi all,

in the species-data of the forum, the recommended KH for tiger shrimps is 9 and the recommended GH is 13. I have read in other websites that tiger shrimps need soft and acidic water because the shrimplets can not survive in hard water. Moreover tiger shrimps are closely related to bee shrimps that need soft and acidic water. So I don't know what to do Smile .

What do you think are the best water parameters for tiger shrimps?

Hi,

You are naturally completely right. Tiger shrimps should be kept in soft and thus acid water. Why? Because in acid water germ load is minimal.

Crucial are here the pH value and not the water hardness.
