You will receive blue Taiwan bees from our regular-grade blue bolt tank or blue Taiwan bees that will be mostly blue from our mid-grade blue bolt tank. A regular-grade blue bolt generally entails that the head of the shrimp will be mostly blue, with the remainder of the body and tail being mostly white with some light blue coloration. The opposite is true for our mostly blue-blue bolts. This contrasting blue and white color makes them a great addition to any aquarium especially those with plants. The blue bolts will be sold at approximately half an inch in size. The smaller the shrimp are the easier they are to acclimate to your aquarium. The shrimp should be breeding size within about a month after receiving them.
The blue bolts that we sell all have great coloration and have varying levels of blue and white. In the past, Taiwan Bees were considered some of the hardest to keep and breed pet shrimp. Between 2009 and 2014, hobbyists stabilized the Taiwan bee shrimp line giving it more stability in the aquarium. This was achieved by adding in new genetic pools making the Taiwan bee shrimp much easier to keep and breed. For a hobbyist ready to take their hobby to the next level, these shrimp are a great place to start.
Mixing Taiwan Bees
It is great to be aware of the fact that all Taiwan Bee shrimp can be kept in the same tank without out risk of hybridizing. All Taiwan Bee shrimp share similar genetic lines so they will produce shrimp that look similar to the parents. Red King Kongs, Red Pandas, Black King King Kongs, Black Pandas, and Blue Bolts can all be kept in the same aquarium.
The following parameters are how we keep our Taiwan Bees:
I bought these blue bolts at Flip Aquatics booth at Aquashella. They are very healthy and such a beautiful color. I am hoping these will be the start of a breeding colony. Top notch livestock.
The shrimp arrived all alive and in great condition. They all have a variety of color. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.
Blue bolts look and are responding wonderfully. Couldn’t ask for a better experience
I really love this company, but my blue bolts have been dying one by one for over 3 months. I’ve purchased twice, each time 10 blue bolts, mid-grade. They came in looking well and good. However, they started dying slowly, one at a time. It’s so weird. I have crystal reds that I got from FA too, and they are thriving. My water parameter is fine. Everything in the tank is shrimp safe and beneficial for them as well. Really disappointed, tbh. I have 7 of them left. $200 fading away day by day :(
Hey Klinsmann,
Thank you so much for your order and review! I am sorry to hear you're not having any luck with the blue bolts. We never like to see that. We would love to try and make this right. If interested, please reach out at shipping@flipaquatics.com. I hope you have a great weekend.

Very impressed traveled 3 days perfectly packed, colors are great and healthy. Even shipped me two extra. Very excited to ship more from flips. Great customer service as well.
I ordered 4 different groups of shrimp, including a group of blue bolts. out of 40+ shrimp not a single one died.
I've never kept caridina before so I was a little worried, but both the blue bolts and the red crystal shrimp I purchased are absolutely thriving - and that's not to mention the two groups of neos I got which are also thriving! I'll never purchase shrimp or shrimp paraphernalia from anywhere else again.
I ordered 5 mostly blue and received 1 bonus shrimp. They were exceptionally well packaged by Amanda and are the 6 cutest little shrimplets ! I’m so excited to see these bright little gems grow and develop. All six arrived promptly and alive and after a drip acclimation are adjusting to their new home.
Very satisfied with my order. Came very fast after being shipped and the packing was perfect. I ordered 10 blue bolts and got 11, all were in good condition and seem to be doing well in my tank. The shrimps are small, but that’s okay because now I get to watch them grow. I also ordered spider wood, almond leaves and some substrate witch also were in great condition. The Swedish fish was also a nice touch. Thank you flip aquatics. I will be ordering again soon.
Very pleased! Gorgeous shrimps 😍
Bought 8 of these and was given 1 more at Aquatic Experinece they made it home safe and are thriving. Excellent shrimp will definitely buy again.
Came really quickly. Everything was nicley packed and everything came safe
Blue bolts i got look amazing... I've personally bought alot of shrimps from flip aquatics and each time I certainly can't complain. Awesome customer service and quality of shrimps on each order I've had.
I'd highly recommend any selection from flip aquatics, Save yourself the time and hassle from other sources 💯
I ordered the “regular” option for these shrimp, but don’t let that fool you!! They are BLUE and adorable! Everything from shipping, to package care was perfect! They’re a little shy yet, but definitely a great addition to a tank!
100% alive and after couple days still alive always order from them I’m so far away and still able to receive the best fish. Thanks from Alaska
As always, fantastic customer service, amazing looking fish, and shrimp. All arrived healthy.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the quality of my order-(mostly blue) blue bolt shrimp. Excellent!
I ordered 15 blue bolt shrimp about 3 weeks ago. Had one DOA but all the others are going strong. I have ordered from flip before and they are always great! In fact I’m waiting on some other shrimp to be delivered soon!
Blue Bolt Shrimp
I received seven Blue Bolts alive and in healthy condition, despite having ordered six. I acclimated them according to the instructions received. Unfortunately, one didn't survive overnight. I conducted water tests, and everything seemed fine. The remaining six are thriving, and they look stunning!
Buddy is a tank favorite! I’m quite new to the shrimp world, so I’m starting to wonder if the blue bolt shrimp or the bumble bee shrimp get much bigger. Love them both but they don’t seem to get any bigger.
Absolutely loving my Blue Bolt Shrimp and Mystery Snails. They came packed with care. I also got a chuckle out of the cute Swedish fish in the box. My little creatures are happy and healthy. I accidentally ordered one shrimp instead of two and the staff got back to me quickly to adjust my order. Will definitely be using Flip Aquatics more in the future. Thanks guys!! (Also — love your YouTube and Instagram content)
They came in all in good health and great coloration!
So far they seem to be happy and so am I. We have many other complementing bee's for their companions we cant wait for the family to grow. Wow Flip though! Outstanding!
