Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has bred any orange bee's?

I would love to see pics if anyone has.

The reason I ask is i have a couple of shrimplets just over 1cm that seem to be a these.

I will get some pics of mine tomorrow when I'm sorting the tanks, or is their another type of bee shrimp that looks similar.

Cheers mick

Hi gabe, i don't have golden bees.

The orange bee I'm referring to is a see through orange with stripes on its back.

This is a pic of one of them, i have a few.

The parents are f7 mishlings.

Any input appreciated.

Cheers mick

Im thinking your mischlings have some tiger blood in them or it crossed with a tiger/tibee, making that what looks like a lil TiBee

That's what I thought when i first seen them but it's not a possibility as i got them from here.

The father Was F7 cbs/panda.

The mother was F3 bluebolt/snow white.

I seen on planet inverts an early creation of the orange bee that gave me this idea apparently they came from the original crs when they were virtually still wild looking.

I know that if they had tiger blood I would have been told by the sellers.

I'm hoping to find the others tomorrow and try to get a better pic as they look translucent orange to the eye.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming and between all of us we will solve it.

Cheers mick

That is a very tiger looking bee shrimp! I am not sure what is going on, but the description you gave does not support the black stripes on the shrimp! Might be that it is just throwing back a lot generations!

I can't link to the planet inverts article as it has copyright but the description and picture of the orange bee on there has the black stripes.

I might be clutching at straws but it's the closest bee shrimp i can find that matches the ones I have.

How far can shrimp throw back?

I can't believe that their is tiger blood in them as they come from two of the most respected and knowledgeable breeders in Australia.

But I am confused as it does look close to tibee.

The tibees I have have never been in the same tank as they came from alot harder water than the mishlings came from.

Please don't think I'm trying to start an argument, i appreciate everyone's input, I've only bred mishlings a few times so I'm still learning as i go.

Cheers mick

No one thinks that you are starting an argument Mick we are just voicing our opinions based on our experiences. Hope you do have what you say though that would be cool. I am sure even the most experienced breeders can make mistakes like shrimp climbing over dividers and breeding without them knowing? Remember it only takes them a few secs to do the deed, the breeder not knowing that noticed they climbed into next division just catches them back into their original division not thinking anything of it.

The origins of Taiwan bees are questionable...

I believe that there was tiger blood used to create Taiwan bees.

Some say it was a spontaneous mutation.....

It is very likely that wild type patterns can appear after dozens of generations.

Thanks for the replies and insightsim fairly new to the Tb and tiger part of the hobby.

I am separating them as i find them because whatever they are i would like to breed them together.

I can't find the others as yet,i don't want to pull the tank apart and they are really hard to see on benbachi substrate lol.

I will keep updating pics as they grow.

I would like to start this post with a great big apology to those who i questioned, sorry I just didn't think it was a possibility.

Live and learn.

I changed the light from a 6500 t8 to 10 000k t5 and it appears to look like a blue tiger, again apologies.

I will move this thread to the correct section.

Cheers mick

It is a surprise, not sure on the awesome part.

I was hoping to get a taiwan bee from the mishlings to start down that path.

Instead I have 3 tanks of tigers and tibees.

I know it's a great shrimp, just a little disappointed.

Now to see what comes out.

My mish have only ever dropped TB or mish. I would say yours have had tiger or Tibee crossed over them recently. Very strange looking shrimp in the pic, lol.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
