You will receive red Taiwan bees from our Red King Kong and Panda mixed tank. For every order of five (5) shrimp, one or more of the (5) will be red king kong shrimp. We sell all Taiwan Bee shrimp at about half an inch. The smaller they are, the easier it is to acclimate them to a new aquarium.
Red King Kong shrimp and Panda shrimp are red Taiwan bees. They are from the genus Caridina and tend to be more difficult to keep compared to cherry shrimp or other aquarium shrimp. 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 in 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 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 with 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 Kongs, Black Pandas and Blue Bolts can all be kept in the same aquarium.
The following parameters are how we keep our Taiwan Bees:

Loving the quality of my shrimp shipments from Flip. My shrimp are hearty and adjusting well.
I ordered eight shrimp, and two of them were the Red King Kong. Shipping came quicker than ever. Unfortunately, of the eight, there were two that arrived in shock/dying. I was unable to save them (one of them being the Red King Kong). The surviving one, as pictured, is in great shape and enjoying a calcium snack right now! The colors are vibrant, and it is having a great time riding around on the snails and cleaning wherever it feels. Overall a very happy customer. I don’t blame the company for the shape the dying ones came in as the weather has been crazy and you never know how the workers with the postal service will treat the package. Just wish it’s buddy would have made it. :(
I really love the variety on this type. They all have such beautiful patterns and richness in the red. They are just stunning against plants.
Order shipped Monday and arrived in CA on Wednesday. All king kongs alive and well, even got 1 extra! One panda looks great!
Red King Kong / Panda Shrimp Mix
The shrimp came in healthy and beautifully stripped. They are a great addition to my tank
Amazing looking shrimp! Thanks Flip team!
Good
Beautiful colors and healthy shrimp
THEY ALL DIED
Great Shrimp!
I am happy to say that the shrimp I ordered arrived promptly, well packed, and all alive! An even better part is that the Blue Dreams had several shrimplets swimming around the adults. I would like to make note that Flip Aquatics did make good on a prior unfortunate order. More on that topic, my part of California was inundated with extreme weather at that time, so I feel that the delivery services may have ultimately been the real cause. Either way, I am happy to do more business with Flips Aquatics!
Definitely beautiful
Thos was pur first time purchasing animals over the internet and I gotta say I'm super happy with them!! One arrived DOA but it looked like he got caught in the bag fold ... that being said we got so many of this and other types that 1 out of the 40 total of the various types we ordered being DOA really wasn't a huge deal and I think there may have been a few extra so it's a win for us either way!!! Highly recommended!!
The snails, and shrimp arrived in timely manner and all very healthy
3 Red King Kong shrimp 2 dead in bag when I got them and 1 lived

Red King Kong / Panda Shrimp Mix
Great shrimp beautiful color and characteristics
All came alive and healthy plus beautiful colors. Great quality
I received another order of the above shrimp. All came well packaged, arriving live and in good condition, as is always the case with shrimp ordered from Flip Aquatics. I ordered double in the hopes of getting a mix of male and female shrimp so these will start breeding this time, just as my black king kongs are doing in that tank. I have always received shrimp in great condition from Flip Aquatics!
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
I only have 2 left, the rest didn’t survive an im not sure why. Also lost all my blue dream i previously ordered. Only ones that stay alive an thrive an breed are the red cherries

Received my shrimp in great shape. Awesome communication with Amanda during transit. Thanks.
I love how you packaged them. They are very happy.
Love their coloring and healthy upon arrival!
This was my first order from Flip Aquatics. The Red Panda / King Kong Shrimp arrived safe and sound. No losses, all healthy! It’s winter time and they were packed very snugly, safely, and with a heat pack. They even came with instructions for acclimation which I thought was a nice touch. Thank you Flip Aquatics!
Really happy with what I got. 👍👍
Came in healthy and acclimated quickly as usual.
