Yellow King Kong

Yellow King Kong Caridina shrimp are stunning dwarf shrimp. They are a mutation from mixing Taiwan Bee shrimp with Tiger shrimp. It is believed that they originated from a Tangerine Tiger and a Blue Bolt or Black King Kong. The Yellow King Kong does breed true or at least in our experience it has.

These shrimp prefer soft acidic water with a buffering substrate that alters the pH to be below 7. Providing natural cover and surface area for biofilm to grow with woods, leaves, and cones will be beneficial to the Yellow King Kong shrimp and their offspring. They will eat any shrimp-specific manufactured food, biofilm, and algae.

We keep our Yellow King Kong in a tank with a Matten Filter, Brightwell Rio Escuro F soil, and cholla woods and mosses. We feed these Glasgarten foods.
