schleppey Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have to be honest I am a little skeptical these stunning shrimp exist as I feel they would be far more popular. To clarify I am talking about http://www.planetinverts.com/Blue_Bee_Shrimp.html. A shrimp I have never seen on a video or in a store so this is a long shot lol. If anyone is lucky enough to breed these little guys I am only looking for 5 shrimp. Blue shrimp are my go to and these would be a perfect addition to my collection. Even if you do not have them for sale but have experience with them I would love to hear about it.

TropicalAquarist Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I think you may have better luck getting BKK or shadow pandas which are really close to the ones in the pictures... never heard of those before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotf Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure they do exist although they're really not all that popular. That article also lists them as Caridina, which seems to be incorrect. They're most likely referring to Paracaridina. The glamour shots are really nice but if you see what they look like with a potato, you'll probably be less impressed. I think the blue coloration is a sign of stress and they might be more brown normally. There were more people selling them 2012-2013, although there are some sales on Aquabid from ~2014-2015. (btw, I'm probably wrong about all of this. All the information above is from 15 minutes of searching inspired by your post) rostick555, who is a user on this forum, sold some a couple years back. Maybe he can point you to someone else who has some? Good luck! schleppey and Shrimp Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 here is a Website where you can buy Blue Bee Shrimp. It is in German though. FYI I do not read or Speak German. I use Google translate. Hope this is what your looking for!!! https://www.garnelen-tom.de/zwerggarnelen-shop/Blue-Bee-Garnele-DNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 those blue bees are not as popular because they are not really all that "blue". Some are brown grey etc that may explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzhaccer Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I had bought some on eBay a couple years ago. I've seen them sold as Paracardinia however rather than Caridina. That may or may not help your search haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
