You will receive Five (5) Black King Kong and Panda Mix, Five (5) Red King Kong and Panda Mix, and Five (5) Regular Blue Bolts. 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. The shrimp will reach breeding age within a month of receiving them.
Taiwan Bees were considered some of the hardest to keep and breed 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.
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 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:

Words cannot adequately express my satisfaction with Flip Aquatics. After extensive reading, successful breeding of neocardinias, and viewing videos posted on Flip’s YouTube channel, I cycled a tank and purchased this starter set. All the shrimp arrived alive and healthy. After keeping this set of shrimp alive and healthy for a month, I decided to purchase a second set. All shrimp arrived alive but there were black spots on my red King Kong. I emailed Rob and he was incredibly helpful in providing instructions to cure the black spots, and even sent a replacement set. I am treating the shrimp with black spots in a hospital tank, and while 3 died, 3 are recovering nicely- 2 are completely free of black spots.
Flip Aquatic’s passion for shrimp-keeping was apparent based on their customer ratings and YouTube channel. Their customer service is absolutely excellent - extending beyond any individual transaction - customers can expect to be forever customers. I even placed a special order with Flip. If you’re looking for shrimp or any aquatics in their stock, Flip Aquatics will make sure that their customers are extremely satisfied and I fully recommend this company!
1st of all, I grew up in Liberty. SO happy to see the guys are from Warren and even happier to see the level of professional quality and care they give in the packaging. They threw in an extra one of each type. For the red ones, I even got a couple of SSS grades. ( I think? I hope?) I thought it was going to come tomorrow but USPS must have seen that it was live perishable animals, they rushed it out of the goodness of their hearts. When I opened the package, the water was 75F in Vegas 110F. When I order anything live again, I'm ordering from these guys. Thanks Tyler!
I just got my package today. This my second time to buy this awesome shrimp. The first time unfortunately all dead because my mistake ( i put algae removal to my tank ). Good Customer Service and Awesome shrimps. Thanks Jeff or Rob ^^
First time buying shrimp from Flip Aquatics and I am over the moon with these shrimps! Excellent shrimp, packaging (with acclimating how to guide), and customer service. Very friendly staff. Wow! Great experience!
I received a total of 18 shrimp with no deaths! A week later, the shrimp are all busy eating and growing. Packaging was excellent and great customer service!
Just received my beautiful shrimps , all survived very satisfied with my purchase and very happy thank you and keep up the good work
Previous review was incorrectly rated... Sorry
They look phenomenal!! Very happy with the purchase and will definitely be ordering more in the future. Received a couple really deep blue bolts. :)
All arrived alive, (very small way less then half an inch I'm talking shrimplets) I had a couple of questions to ask and got in touch with a dude named Jeff. dont get me started on that joker very rude and short in his emails. lost a blue bolt and a red king Kong (smallest of the groups) during acclamation. After waiting a week for them to come out of Quarantine (or to hatch) I guess I was just expecting a little more from they guys at flip Aquatics but that's the luck of it I guess.
Hey Travis,
Thanks for your review. Sorry that you are unhappy with the shrimp you got. Hopefully the extra shrimp more than make up for any losses. As for size, most Caridina shrimp in general are small. These shrimp have gone through 30 days of our quarantine so we actually take the time to grow them out more before sending them to you. Sending adults would have pleased you when you got them but the likelihood of adults thriving after acclimation and shipping is very unlikely. Therefore, juvies are the best option all around as they will grow and thrive in your tank.
Please let us know if you need anything. We are happy your shrimp arrived alive and well,
Rob
My 1st attempt at keeping Caridina shrimp. I bought these in Nov. 2018 and wanted to wait a while before posting a review to see how they (& I) did. All shrimp arrived alive and swimming in 3 bags separated by color. I got 1 extra shrimp of each color for a total of 18. Thanks Flip!! they arrived in water with tds of ~135, my tank had tds ~160 so I drip acclimated them for about 8 hours. 2 days later 1 blue bolt had died and was missing another 3 but no dead bodies. Found out they were entering the pvc pipe outlet on the matten filter or climbing over it because I found 2 swimming around in the little space behind it. Rigged up some pantyhose over the pvc pipe to put an end to those shenanigans, and they are doing well. Jan. 2019, I'm 2 months in and still count 14 of the 18 received. Only ever found 2 dead bodies so not sure where the other 2 went but the 14 are alive, growing, and absolutely beautiful!!! I wasn't sure I would like the blue bolts but they are incredible with a brilliance like no other! I have slowly been raising there tds and they are currently thriving with tds 160-200ppm. P.h is about 6.5-6.7 with Gh: 4-5. They have grown considerably, but aren't yet reproducing....I really hope they do soon. Wish I could give a 10 star rating. Bought with a $20. off sale and got free shipping. Call me a satisfied customer. Check out these awesome pics I just took of them! AAA+++
Beautiful lil buddies delivered fast, packaged better than any other aquatic life I’ve ordered before. If you’re on the fence jump off and buy these lil buddies.
All arived healthy and there were extras. Couldnt ask for more. I had to wait for heat but it was worth it. Deep colors.
Great looking shrimp, all survived including the extras.
My shrimp came in packed amazingly well, all arrived super fast and in great health. By the time drip acclimation was done everyone was at full color and checking out their new home. Amazing quality and color will deffinatly buy more. Thank you all for your great service and livestock.
I'm so excited, they arrived in great condition along with a few extras :-)
They have been in their new home for over a week and doing GREAT.
I can't wait to see them multiply and develop over time. Thank you
All came in great condition, and they put in a few extra
Selection, ordering, communications, packaging, from start to finish Flip Aquatics continues to be top notch.
Did I mention the shrimp? Perfect & healthy like every other time I've received product from FA. The Team just kills it again and again.
I tried to save money by buying shrimp from other retailers at lower prices, but in the end it is worth it to buy from Flip Aquatics because their shrimp have a much higher survival rate in my tanks.
I love my taiwan bee starter pack of shrimp that I purchased from Flip Aquatics! They arrived well packaged and quickly, and were in excellent health. I followed all procedures to acclimate them, and weeks later all of them are alive, healthy, and thriving. I will definitely purchase more shrimp in the (very near) future.
Their coloration is just as pictured as well - very lovely.
A wonderful selection of Taiwan Bee shrimp! All 15 arrived alive and well! They were carefully packaged and protected on their journey.
Fast delivery and all critters survived the journey!
