nice to see so many wild bumble bee shrimp its amazing. I hope when you guys catch them, you did so responsibly so as not to affect their population in the wild. Or else very soon they would not exist in the wild and that would be very sad.

Very nice! How I wish we can do that in Singapore.

a very interesting report, thank you. I think it is a new undescribed species.Another Bee-Srimp is Caridina clinata from the Cuc Phoung National Park. But this species is too far away to identical with those animals to be. I would very much like to examine some specimens. Or do you have a good macro photo of the head area?
Maybe I visit Vietnam this year and would be very happy to collect a few shrimp for determination. I would be very happy to have some support.
best regards

This is wonderful. I will make Vietnam one of my must see places for holidays. Wonder what type of shrimps we can find in our drains here. I've caught common glass/grass shrimps but I've never seen dwarf shrimps

**goody992828** · 7th Sep 2009, 13:27

Wow amazing, hope you guys who wanted to make a trip there and maybe can bring some back to Singapore, I would very much like to get my hand on some, if you bros have some to spare.

Hi,
Yes, I have babies from all streams. I am very happy about it.
In Germany, the shrimp is now called Princess bees. Because of the small white crown on the head (white Rostrum and Eyes).
best regards

They look abit like king kong shrimp.

Hi all, thanks for the nice pictures of even nicer Princess Bee shrimps! I wonder about it seems to be quiet easy to collect this specimens from the wild and even take them to other countries.... That's why I have a question to those who are from Vietnam: What do you think of foreign visitors collecting Vietnamese shrimps from the wild? Is the protection of species a topic in Vietnam (shrimp keeper communities)?
