Hi Ljung,
tiger, bee and CR shrimps are NOT the same species. I don't know what do you mean by mean with ''bee''. The local bee shrimp in S'pore is a shrimp which is nown as "new bee" in Japan and Germany. So it's not the same species as CR. The ancestors of CR were diamond shrimps, like you call them in Singapore. All these species are closely related and do cross-breed. The offspring is often fertile and can look nice. But I still dislike inter-species hybrids and prefer to keep my species the way they are.

I don't know yet which environmental factors lead to cross-breeding of these species. Tigers are said to cross-breed very easy with diamonds. A friend of mine kept both species and got hybrids as fast as normal offspring of both species. I kept and keep both species for several years now in the same tank and never got any hybrid at all, even if the sex-ratio (like only females of certain species with only males of another species) would force them to do so. I don't know why I get no hybrids but I don't worry about it.

best regards

Robert
