Black Bee (wild bee shrimp)
A variant of Bee shrimp (Caridina cantonensis)
Representative Bee shrimpphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The wild-type Caridina cantonensis 'bee shrimp': a brown-to-black banded shrimp with thin pale stripes, the ancestral form from which Crystal Red, Crystal Black, and the Taiwan Bee lines were all selectively bred.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give it the same pristine, soft, slightly acidic water (pH 5.8-6.8, GH 4-6, low TDS) as the crystal lines; it is hardier than Taiwan Bees but still needs a mature, stable, copper-free tank.
