The Taiwan Bee Red Bolt is a very popular and beautiful species of shrimp. It has particularly opaque and rich colors. The husbandry conditions are similar to those of Red Bee shrimps, but raising the young of Taiwan Bees is a little more difficult. Therefore, you should only carry out very small water changes, especially with offspring, in order to avoid fluctuations in the water parameters.
