About Taiwan Bees family

Taiwanese  Bees aka Shadow Bees
 

Taiwanese  bees aka shadow bee, also known as Tai-Ti-Bee, with Bees and Original tiger are the three major blood families of crystal shrimps. Even the most important family, which is also known as the "Black King Kong", "Red King Kong " and " Bule Blot" categories, were the next generation of ornamental shrimps after the Japanese pure line shrimps. An important climax shrimp is derived from a key mutation in a gene of the crystal shrimp. Or it can be said that this gene originally existed, but it was just because the gene itself was defective that the individual could not mature enough to reproduce the next generation.

A pair of brother and sister breeders in Taiwan used specially customized care methods to mature the shrimps into the next generation. They participated in the German Ornamental Shrimp Competition and won the overall championship, and then even set an actual transaction price of 9,000 USD per shrimp (acquired by Japanese). Therefore, it is famous all over the world. 

However, it is different from other original tigers and  bee shrimps.Taiwan bees' genes for hybrid shrimps provide a special "shell layer" than other shrimps. This special and different shell layer is equivalent to providing ornamental shrimps with a polarizing lens or the effect of the filter can make the color layer of the ornamental shrimp have different color rendering effects, making the color of the ornamental shrimp leap from the "analog era" to the" digital era".

The quality categories and shapes of black and red King Kong include panda type, one-stripe type, multi-stripe type, and full-color type. Due to the characteristics of genes.It focuses on the visual impact of the colors presented, and more on the contrast of colors. Of course, there are a few special individuals who are famous for their patterns. We will give you examples after .

Taiwan Bee has now opened up a large family of follow-up strains, including the King Kong , Pinto, Galaxy, Golden-Back Fishbone Galaxy , Snowflake, Blue Boa, and Tiger Pinto. Each new generation of shrimp has led to an unprecedented climax in ornamental shrimp

Blue Blot

 

"Blue blot" There are no other pigment patches on the shrimp, showing a blue body surface. To understand the white shrimp, please refer to the white shrimp. The initial shrimp escapes from the original, red, black, and white,orange to produce a very important color is blue, blue is a bright color that is easy to identify.

The purification of blue is very important for the subsequent development of ornamental shrimps. From the Blue King Kong itself, the blue-body black panda, the black King Kong-blue body, to the later blue python, blue-body snowflake, and even the later purple King Kong breeding, blue It is a very important color.

Of course, the price is directly up 500~1,000 USD (history price) as soon as it comes out. It also allows ornamental shrimps to appear in various colors in the subsequent breeding. Although the current price is very affordable, good quality (dark blue, or extreme blue) "Blue blot"  is definitely a must-have for everyone.

 

Pinto

The name of the Pinto shrimp is very interesting. It is the abbreviation of  "Piebald horse". This shrimp is also a shrimp that has made German breeders famous. German breeders have always regarded German breeders as good at preserving native tiger shrimps. Pinto is the product of a cross between original tigers and Taiwanese bees by German breeders.

After the Taiwan Bee be released, German breeders used a shrimp line that was different way from the bee and original tiger to hybridize a new shrimp named "Pinto"that was amazing at the time. Pinto then screened out two different directions, "Spotted head" type head, and “Zebra stripe” type according to the progeny. The “Spotted head” types are divided into large Spotted-head types and small Spotted-head types.Zebra-stripe types are divided into striped type and saddle type. Of course, there are also offspring of mixed types. 

The Zebra-stripe  type is divided into the German 5-line Zebra Pinto and the Taiwan 6-line Zebra Pinto due to the difference in tiger stripes used in the German and Taiwanese systems. 

At that time, the price of a Pinto shrimp dropped from 1000 USDto 100~200 USD(history price),now it is 10~25 USD. It is still sought after by many breeders, especially those in Asia, mainly in Taiwan.

Since then, the stories of Japan Red White shrimp, Taiwan bee, and German Pinto , breeders successfully creating amazing new shrimps have been widely circulated around the world and inspired and attracted many subsequent enthusiasts to join.


Galaxy ,  Galaxy Fishbone Gold- Back, Snowflakes,Snowfall 

After the Pinto shrimp, Taiwanese breeders then introduced hybrid offspring of orange tiger stripes and Taiwan  bee shrimps. Also due to the different selection of the tiger striped base shrimp, the subsequent results were very different. 

The Taiwanese Pinto has a pattern similar to the “Galaxy” pattern on the cheeks of the shrimp, which has opened up the characteristic of creating delicate white lines on the Pinto shrimp. Later, the Galaxy type, the gold back type, and the gold back Galaxy fishbone type were selected for viewing by the world. Fans are crazy about it. The most famous one is Sky Fish, a large factory in Taiwan. A single shrimp sells for more than 1,500 USD(history price). However, there is an endless stream of buyers from all over the world. Every time they buy it on the spot with cash, they still come to Taiwan to buy it. Shrimp, even the genetically produced shrimp at that time, could be sold for nearly 100 to 150 USD(history price ) each.

 Since its release, the "Golden Back Galaxy Fishbone" has become a consistent winner of major international competitions, the most famous breeders are Taiwan "Sky Fish" and "Vin Fish", and has a large number of fans in Japan, Asia, and Germany all over the world. 

However, the gold-backed Galaxy Fishbone has a lot of changes in its stripes, so it has evolved into a diamond-shaped pattern with large dots, and a snowflake-shaped dot with fine dots, and has also evolved into a finer snowflake pattern based on the distribution of snowflakes,snowfall etc.

 

Boas

Boa type shrimp is unique because of its special python pattern and specially shaped skirt. Many people regard it as an extension of the Golden Back Galaxy fishbone system. In fact, the Golden Back Bank fishbone has the opportunity to produce python-shaped offspring, but this is a relatively inefficient approach, and the offspring have to go through a lot of selection, then can be stable.Later we will have the opportunity to introduce to you some other ways to obtain the Boa Shrimps.

This is "Sky Fish" (Taiwan Shrimp company) another breeding representative shrimp after the golden-backed Galaxy fish bone became internationally famous. The yellow golden boa derived from it is even more surprising and admirable, and is unimaginably beautiful. The first launched Blue boa S-class is priced at more than 3,000 USD, while the SS-class is priced as high as 6,000 to 7,000 USD(history price), bringing shrimp ornamental fans around the world into an unprecedented dream era.

The high-quality colorful Boas series still has a group of die-hard and powerful players around the world. They are cultivating more special colors such as metallic purple, metallic orange, and colorful metals; the stripes and contrast are also more detailed, and they are one of the few high-quality ones currently. There are still opportunities to sell rare shrimp with high prices.
