The Raccoon Tiger Shrimp (Caridina mariae) is a striking and highly sought-after Caridina shrimp variety, known for its bold black tiger stripes on a translucent to amber body. Its unique raccoon-like facial markings and intricate patterns make it a standout addition to any shrimp-focused aquarium.
