Does anyone keep these shrimps here? The're high on my wishlist but not availlable in Holland yet :( I know a German breeder but it takes the shrimps 3 days to get from his adres to mine and i'm afraid al shrimps will be dead by than.. I would like to know how strong the species is, can the stripes be seen or are they plane white and is it easy to get them to breed and stay the youngsters white too?

This is also known as White Bee shrimps, apparently, it has the least black portion of all bee alike species.

I do not Žknow about white bee shrimps. But white pearl shrimp: Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis sp white are very hardy and will easily survive the trip.
Maybe you know them as "snowball shrimp"

I know the difference. I ment I do not know whether white bees would survive the trip. I know many people who have difficulties in breeding them and keeping them alive.
While zhangjiajiensis is easy to breed and keep alive and looks quite similiar
