You will receive black Taiwan bees from our Black King Kong and Panda mixed tank. For every order of five shrimp, you will receive one to two black King Kong shrimp. We sell all Taiwan Bee shrimp at about half an inch. The smaller they are, the easier to acclimate them to a new aquarium.
Our Black King Kong shrimp may come as the shadow variety. This means instead of being black and white, they will contain blue shadowing in their white coloration.
Black King Kong shrimp and Panda shrimp are black Taiwan bees. They are from the genus Caridina and tend to be more difficult to keep compared to cherry shrimp or others. Taiwan Bees were considered some of the hardest to keep and breed freshwater shrimp in the past. Between 2009 and 2014, hobbyists were able to stabilize the Taiwan bee shrimp line to have more stability. By adding new genetic pools, the Taiwan bee shrimp is much easier to keep and breed in current days. For a hobbyist ready to take their hobby to the next level, these pet 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’m obsessed with my shrimp I bought from here they look amazing in my neocardina tank! They are thriving!
Ordered two red king kongs/pandas, and two black king kongs/pandas, and all arrived alright. Used two day shipping, and all the shrimp were packaged very well. A week later, and all the shrimp are doing fine. They are very small, smaller than I guess I would have initially thought. But I have no complaints. Would definitely recommend.
I received these shrimp two weeks ago. I received 2 extras in my 10 pack and they all arrived healthy. Now that they have colored up, most of them have a little bit of shadowing.
The king kongs are doing great no D.O.A package was really good. I appreciate it Jeff.
They came in a bit smaller then I was hoping for but I am in no way disappointed with what has come. I know from past experience that the younger and smaller shrimp tind to acclimate better to their new environment. Upon arrival they were actively swimming in their shipment bag that was packed very professionally and making it the safest for the shrimp. After a long acclamation they were introduced to their new aquarium and as of now are still being very active and healthy. All of my shrimp have to recolor up very beautifully and I am anxiously awaiting them being old enough to breed.
i got 6 and they were awesome! no deaths, and all came in healthy. they are active and doing wells! thank you so much for awesome shrimps!! wished you guys had shadow pandas, but its okay.
They are so beautiful
I wanted to get more but you ran out of them I’ll order them when you get more in stock
They look like little orcas.
They arrived well-packaged. It’s great to see how they are thriving in my tank and being the most active shrimps after 20 days.
I ordered 10 Black King Kongs and received 13! I am very pleased with the shrimp I received and there have been no deaths so far! They have adjusted well and are busy exploring their new home! I will definitely be ordering again as soon as the Christmas pause in shipping is over. Thanks so much!
They came it wonderfully!
They all came in health. This was one of my larger purchases and I'm still learning. Was hoping to get some pure line so I can try breeding and I'm still going to. I need to read the full instructions I guess. Would still purchases again sometime.
They all arrived healthy and are living a week past delivery, they were small but that’s fine to me
Guys. let’s get real, it’s winter and I was skeptical about 3day shipping. Also, I had a very specific request with this order. I asked the crew if they could pull Black and White Pandas ONLY for me as the mixed king kong/panda menu can leave you with a mixed bag. So I asked, and they delivered. Not one shrimp harmed in the shipping process and they all looked incredible. Can’t thank you guys enough for making it happen, AGAIN. Consistent results and fast customer service. What else do you want? A++

Black King Kong / Panda Shrimp Mix
Very pleased with my purchase. These king kong shrimp are healthy and thriving. Will absolutely be purchasing more now that the test run has gone well. Our plants were also very healthy and are doing well so far.
Received my order in a timely manner. All of the shrimp were alive and healthy. There is only one dealer to go to if you want to raise & breed these - Flip Aquatics!
Love love love. Came in perfect condition and is thriving with the rest of my caridinas!
We will only use this company. We've order 2 times from them and the shrimp quality never waivers.
Great shrimps!
I am really excited about this purchase. I ordered rkk panda mix, bkk panda mix and blue bolt. They all came alive. They send me 3 extras. The shrimp are beautiful and healthy. The Shrimp came in Super nice and acclimation went smooth. This is my first Taiwan bee set up with these shrimp. Can’t believe how great they look and arrived on time! Very impressed by the quality of these shrimp and customer service. First order with flip. Now I want to know what other kinds of shrimps I can add to these ones without losing colors. Thank you Flip Aquatics
All arrived on time and healthy. They were all active and no one was showing signs of overly stressed. All were about 1/4” in length which is awesome. I’ll have them for a very long time. This was my very first caridina purchase and I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks. Thanks to everyone @ Flip
Black King Kong / Panda Shrimp Mix
The Shrimp arrived alive and seem to be doing well several weeks later. Can't wait for them to start breeding. Thanks flip
Reached out to Flip about a package of Kong shrimp I was waiting on and they got back to me super quick with an update on my order! When it showed up they had sent me 2 Kongs for the price of 1! Along with my healthy cherry shrimp I loved my order
One shrimp ordered, two shrimp delivered, one happy boy. Thank you, shrimp!
