Taiwan Bees Project Part 1

Two years ago, I started my first breeding project. So I purchased 5 Black King Kong juveniles from a local breeder in BC, I must admit this guy had the nicest and quality local breeding shrimps ever. I personally never was and still really Not fan of those who import and sell back right the way. Simply cause good quality are NOT there and chances to get diseases and infections are high. For this reason I only deal with local breeders. They take good care of their shrimps and they sell what they have available in stock.

So from this small batch he send me, I had 2 females and 3 males king kong juveniles. Surprisingly, I was capable to keep them all alive and healthy. It took them about 2 months to reach to adult and finally two females got berried. Each gave birth around 12 to 18 babies, they hatched within 25-30 days and I was able to keep babies grow and reach maturity. Since I took really good care of them None of adults and babies died.

Here are the original photos I took of them from young to adult age.

And this is how I started to have small colony of Taiwan Bees shrimps and I keep breeding them to get bigger colony with time... :)

Then I got Hooked and My next big challenge was How to create Blue Bolts, Shadow Pandas, Hulks, Full Black King Kongs, Red Wines (Panda) and Red Rubies (King Kong) from my current ones? (Meaning not buying anyone shrimps sources already Done For Me. Because I knew it was too Easy and faster to buy everything Done. Yeah but where was the challenge then?). From that point of view, I did some studies and research and found out how these breeders did. Therefore, I took some of my males King Kong and crossed with females CBS/CRS in order to create Hybrids F1 (aka Mischlings).

Here are some shot of my Hybrids F1 (aka Mischlings or Taiwan Bee Mix), they are actually look like normal CBS/CRS but have Taiwan Bee genes inside. They throw many different grades from S, SS to SSS.

I even had some golden/snow whites which are hybrids too.
