Bumblebee Shrimp

Bumblebee Shrimp

Bumblebee shrimp look like little aquatic bees as they shuttle around the tank with their black striped little bodies. These are great aquarium species for small tanks but be aware that dwarf cichlids will eat these expensive critters. The bumblebee shrimp is similar to crystal black and black rili shrimp but do not not have the distinct black and white and clear pattern, they are bit more muted.
