Taiwan Bee - King Kong
A variant of Bee shrimp (Caridina cantonensis)
Representative Bee shrimpphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A near-solid deep-black Taiwan Bee with minimal or no white, the dark counterpart to Wine Red. The intense solid coloration is highly prized and the gene is recessive, so true King Kongs are slow to reproduce in number.
Keeper tips for this variant
Solid-color Taiwan Bees are the most demanding bee shrimp — keep them in a dedicated, long-matured tank only, never as a first shrimp. Crossing King Kong x Wine Red yields the sought-after blacks/reds but expect low yields and cull mismarks.
