Black King Kong Shrimp History

The Black King Kong Shrimp is the selectively and very rare variant of the Bee Shrimp.

Special Notes

This algae eater is a good species for aquarium algae control. As with all aquarium shrimp, it is important to make sure copper does not get into the aquarium. Copper is toxic to all Dwarf Shrimp. Many medications contain elevated levels of copper, so it is recommended not to medicate an aquarium with Dwarf Shrimp in it.
