Aura Blue and Calceo Bee

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever tried breeding These two Shrimp together?

Would anyone have a Suggestion on what the crossbreed could possibly look like?

I can't answer your question but those pictures are great. Did you take them? Beautiful shrimp, thanks for sharing.

No. They are copy and paste off a Website here in Germany that I have purchased from. My photos are just as good though :)

I have the Aura Blues, but not the Calceo/Caleco Bee which is also labelled as Golden Dragon. whom is priced at 30€

I was planning on crossing the Aura Blues, and Extream Blue Bolts to get some Blue and Red Steels.

Seen These "Calceo`s" and thought they were the coolest. I am thinking they are a cross between a CRS and a White/clear Bee. Hence the red markings and the clear Body. Which would not make them pinto, so Price would not be as much after crossing them, then selling the new breed created.

This is the Information I found on this Shrimp so far.


Called Golden Dragon or Calceo Bee Shrimp, is a crossbreed whose background is still unclear. We suspect that the Yellow King Kong shrimp crossed with red Shadow Bee have laid the foundation. But also the red tiger could be with the part.
It is distinguished by a beautiful bright yellow / red color, which is easily reminiscent of a tiger shrimp.

Any other ideas???

great info, have you tried breeding them together? keep us updated.

I have red Calceo in the same tank with blue Calceo. I heard that would bring out black offsprings. Any ideas on that?

Good luck with that. Genetics is unpredictable, especially without knowing the history of the shrimp.

You will just have to wait and see what you get.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
