The pretty little Blue Bee shrimp usually has a strong dark blue to almost black or a dark chocolate brown, sometimes a reddish base coloration and four bright white stripes. Sometimes it is also called chocolate bee. The females are a bit beefier and also grow a bit larger than the males at up to 2 cm. The eggs, which the females carry under the abdomen, are brown-red to bright red. The animals belong to the genus Paracaridina, the exact species is not yet scientifically described.
The diet of the Blue Bee shrimp includes algae cover, biofilms and brown autumn leaves, as well as smaller insects and green food such as nettle or spinach. They also like to eat special shrimp food. Twice a week you should give a suitable protein food and otherwise feed mainly vegetable.
Blue Bee shrimp are very peaceful group animals. Especially in company of potential predators like fish, freshwater crabs or crayfish they hide well. Therefore, and also due to the small size of even adult animals, you should rather think about a species tank when keeping Blue Bee shrimp. However, they can be kept together with snails (not with predatory snails) without any disadvantages. If you want to keep them together with other shrimps, you should make sure that the demands on the water values are approximately the same.
Due to its small size, the Blue Bee shrimp carries fewer young than other species. You can expect about 10 to 15 young per litter every four weeks. The breeding works without problems in a group in the aquarium with the parents.
Our food recommendation: The soft Mainfeed Softpads from NatureHolic are designed for daily feeding. They contain all the nutrients shrimp need for shell development, egg formation and growth. During the production process we pay attention to a gentle and environmentally friendly production, in which the vitamins and other valuable ingredients are preserved as much as possible.
Our plant recommendation: Use for the planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planaria and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.

Interessante Farbvarianten
Ich habe nur 2 Garnelen von dieser Sorte bestellt, war aber schon überrascht welche Farbvarianten es gibt. Die eine ist rötlich während die andere eher schwarz mit
einem bläulichen Schimmer ist. Ich hoffe das ich das Glück habe ein Pärchen erwischt zu haben, da sie sich ja nicht mit meinen Neocardia-Arten kreuzen können. Die Garnelen kamen top fit an, waren allerdings etwas klein und es hat ein paar Tage gedauert bis sie ihre Farben richtig gezeigt haben.
