Soothing Shrimp Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ghost Bees are also known as Crystal Whites, right? Is this what was originally referred to as the White King Kong shrimp several years ago? (I think by Silane) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Great question. If this chart is accurate in regards to your question then they would be different. Similar to a CRS and Wine Red, or CBS and Panda. Not sure if their is a noticeable difference though to distinguish between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ah! I see. Another example of phenotypically similer, but different genotype. Thanks, Deta! DETAquarium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 ghost bees are cool... do you have them soothing? I always was curious if they are harder to keep then other caridina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeo85 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 In my experience they are just as easy as any caridina shrimp. I've had no problems at all breeding them. Very cool looking shrimp. Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I don't have them, but they do look neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinusInfinity Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have them and quiet honestly I kinda like them more than my CRS/CBS. They have this very unique feel to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 This was my pair, I did get the female berried but the babies didn't survive. I sold them to another hobbyist before I moved. They were soooo cool the eggs were turquoise blue in color. I didn't know who the father was at the time as I did have BKK and WR as well as the male Crystal white in the same tank.

monty703 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yes they are very cool shrimps. I liked them a lot. There are a few people who do breed them, someone on here too. Michal Nadal used these to produce some of those unique Blue Jellys, and I believe you could get some very cool hybrids if you tried them with Pintos etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 what happens when a ghost bee breeds with a blue bolt or panda etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Rumors of CWB x BKK > Blue Jelly Mr. F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 You probably won't get a nice looking shrimp in F1 generation, but when bred back to either parent you could end up with something unique. Hybrids take time to create, nothing really worth while until F2-F3, so be prepared to wait it out. I asked Michal Nadal how he got the Blue Jelly and he told me he used a CWB x BKK. Using a Blue Bolt might give you a more solid blue bodied shrimp with some white striping of sorts, again its a wait and see project.
