๐Ÿ“Care 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.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธFeeding

Premium bee shrimp foods, biofilm. Feed very sparingly to keep water quality pristine at all times.

๐ŸฃBreeding

Same requirements as other Taiwan bee shrimp. Very sensitive to parameter fluctuations of any kind.

โญGrading

Graded by the intensity and coverage of the blue colour and the clarity of the white sections between them.
