Tibee and Taitibee shrimp

Reserve or join the waitlist

A Tibee is an aquarium-bred hybrid of bee shrimp and Tiger shrimp (Caridina logemanni × C. mariae) that doesn't occur in the wild. Typical Tibees are black and white, often with a spotted head and tiger stripes on the tail.

A Taitibee is a Tibee crossed back to a Taiwan Bee. It keeps the Tibee pattern but takes on the solid colours of Taiwan Bees. Accounts differ on whether the first Tibees came from Crystal Red or Taiwan Bee parents.

Offspring vary widely, so selection is ongoing. Keep them in soft water, roughly GH 3–10, KH 0–3 and pH 5–7.5, at 60–77 °F.
