๐Care notes
Stunning bright blue Taiwan bee variant with white sections creating a dramatic two tone pattern. One of the most visually striking freshwater shrimp available. Commands high prices even at lower grades.
๐ฝ๏ธFeeding
Premium bee shrimp foods, biofilm. Feed very sparingly to keep water quality pristine at all times.
๐ฃBreeding
Same requirements as other Taiwan bee shrimp. Very sensitive to parameter fluctuations of any kind.
โญGrading
Graded by the intensity and coverage of the blue colour and the clarity of the white sections between them.
๐คGood tankmates
Other caridina only, Snails
