Yellow King Kong Caridina shrimp are stunning dwarf shrimp. They are a mutation from mixing Taiwan Bee shrimp with Tiger shrimp. It is believed that they originated from a Tangerine Tiger and a Blue Bolt or Black King Kong. The Yellow King Kong does breed true or at least in our experience it has.
These shrimp prefer soft acidic water with a buffering substrate that alters the pH to be below 7. Providing natural cover and surface area for biofilm to grow with woods, leaves, and cones will be beneficial to the Yellow King Kong shrimp and their offspring. They will eat any shrimp-specific manufactured food, biofilm, and algae.
We keep our Yellow King Kong in a tank with a Matten Filter, Brightwell Rio Escuro F soil, and cholla woods and mosses. We feed these Glasgarten foods.
The yellow King Kings are beautiful!
Not a single casualty in the first 3 weeks. The cutest little shrimp ive ever seen. This is a newly rescaped tank and theyve been loving munching on the wood fuzz.
I received the yellow king Kong and I now have 2 that are carrying eggs! Even more excited to have babies.
Came in great condition. I'm new to this and lost one but it was due to my lack of knowledge. The others are all healthy and happy.
Came really quickly. Everything was nicley packed and everything came safe
I'm sorry to report that shortly after arriving, one of my yellow king Kong shrimps didn't make it :( also lost two black pinto :(
Shrimp arrived on time, packaged with care, and alive! These cuties are doing very well and one is such a good size! Definitely have me hooked on shrimp now! If you’re thinking about it, do it. Flip Aquatics is the way to go.
He is a little cutie, not super bold color but i still love him.
These little shrimp are doing well! They are active and seemed to be fine during shipping.
He was such a tiny lil guy, but I’ve never seen such an aggressive shrimp before.
A lot smaller than I expected
They came healthy in ready to go
I setup my planted tank in June and added added Neon Tetras and Leopard Danios to it. I liked the result but wasn't satisfied until I added some Yellow King Kongs. Now every time I pass by my tank I stop and watch those bright yellow beauties happily picking away at the dark substrate. Thank you Michael B for packaging all 5 +1 so well. I was nervous about ordering shrimp online but I won't hesitate to order again from Flip when the time itch comes to add more.
I love the new shrimp I received from flip aquatics. Beautiful colors & very healthy
They were beautiful and arrived in great condition
3 Yellow King Kong shrimp lived through the mail order. But the 3 Red King Kong / Panda Shrimp mix was not good. Found 2 dead in bag. Was not sure if the other one was going to live, but he pull through, he his still alive today.

Received my yellow King Kongs on time, they were a little warm despite having a ice pack in there. Will try two on the next order. They acclimated well and are now thriving in my tank. Flip is great to work with and I will be placing many orders with them in the future.
They are amazing and colorful, and I'm very happy with flip aquatics.
I ordered 10 yellow king Kong shrimp 2 weeks ago. The packaging was great. Ordered 10 and received 12. No doa's and they are all thriving. Will definitely order more from flip aquatics.
Have had 0 losses in the 3 weeks. The cutest little skrumpos.
This guy was no bigger then a dime when I received him. He is now bout the size of a quarter and looking healthy as can be. Hard to tell the rice shrimp and hime apart but I only have one King Kong.
I ordered 10 yellow King Kong’s and received 12 living healthy shrimp, plus one Swedish fish : ) (which was very tasty) Thank you for the great service and product!
Complete beginner here. I wanted to share that initially I was unsure of how many shrimp come in a kit. I now know once I received the the little ones in the meticulous packaging. The website description may be clearer in that mentioning one pack equals one shrimp or what have you. Nonetheless, I am happy with my experience ordering from Flip Aquatics, both live items and other came on healthy and are thus far thriving! Thank you Flip Aquatics Team!
Yellow King Kong
If you're reading this review, just go and complete your order. All the shrimp I have ordered have great color and markings. So far ALL alive and swimming. Thank you Flip Aquatics, I'm certain I will be ordering in the future.
These lil guys are dope and and super pretty! Great job Flip!
Thanks much for bringing the fun and entertaining new additions straight to my home. So colorful and a delight to watch. Plus they went straight to work on my algae in the tank.
5 Yellow King Kongs
Arrived happy, healthy and colorful thanks!
No deaths yet. Still doing good. Awesome color.
I'm just curious the food you feed the YKKs and what you recommend.
