Standardization of naming convention on Bee, New Bee and Diamond Shrimp

Unfortunately, he doesn't export. I know he has relationships with some of the fish shops in HK and imports them, but that's about all I know. I don't ask him about his connections... really isn't my business. He's not a large scale breeder or supplier by any means... so he only gets a few at a time.

What I´ve heard and seen is that you can breed old type crystal red shrimp until grade A, maybe a bit better

What I red in a German magazin is that to get wide bands you can cross a smallband crystal red with a New Bee (Caridina Huananensis).
I've seen pictures of them and they look very nice!! The breeding isn't very easy, because it takes longer for the shrimps getting eggs..

haven't try it out yet, because the C. Huananensis is very hard to get...

(bumblebee = C. cf. Breviata and New Bee is C. Huananensis)

C. Huananensis is very similar in looks to the regular black crystal, but I can see that the white bands look larger. Is the bluish colour characteristic of the species or is the one in the picture just stressed? A couple of my black and white crystals look very similar, I'm probably just mistaken.
