    DESCRIPTION

    Scientific Name: Caridina cf. cantonensis
    Common Name: Black King Kong, Black Taiwan Bee, BKK, Black Panda

    Fully Grown Size: 1.2 inches

    Black King Kong were introduced around 2008, at the time the market price was $800 per shrimp. BKKs are black, white, and sometimes blue. BKK have many patterns and some of the most popular pattern is panda and one stripe.

    Black King Kong are one of the three classic Taiwan Bees available on the market. When a Black King Kong is bred with Blue bolts, you are able to get shadow bkk. Unlike the Neocaridinas and some Caridinas, Black King Kong can be kept with Red King Kong and Blue Bolt without the risk of creating hybrids. 

    These are great for people who kept shrimps and are looking into something different and a little more challenging. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon.  Black King Kong are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate.

    Black King Kong are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water. When using fertilizer, make sure it does not contain copper as it is harmful to the shrimp’s health.

    The shrimps you will receive will be juvies to sub adults which translate to 0.47 to 0.60 inches (1.2cm to 1.5cm).

    Although it's rare that shrimps will arrive DOA, it does occur due to the process of shipping and the amount of stress it puts on the shrimps so we always recommend overnight shipping. In an event of an DOA, a refund or reshipment will be issued for only the DOA (not including the shipping cost).

    To Claim DOA: 

    1. You must send a picture of the DOA in an unopened bag with 2 hours of delivery to hello@billyboiaquatics.com.
    2. Send an additional picture of the DOA outside of the bag, clear enough to count if more than one.

    Not received shrimp yet over 2 weeks

    I have not received my shrimp and ive ordered from Billyboiaquatics before with much faster shipping my shipping tracker number has stayed the same for the past week. Not sure where my shrimp are but I have had a poor experience I really hope my King Kong shrimp are still alive

    Better than expected

    The pandas I received had some really good genetics. One had really light brown eyes. All had nice bright whites and dark blacks. I did get a bonus shadow-type panda too.

    Great deal! I hope they throw some interesting caridina.

    I placed an order for 4 groups of cardina species as well a groups of Sunkist and a group of Jade. The Sunkist arrived with 3 oUt of 15 DOA and the remainder looking to struggle. I lost an additional 2 over the following couple days. After 2 days I noticed the Sunkist showing Scutariella Japonica. I have communicated with them repeatedly since the day of arrival nearly a month ago and received zero responses. Because of their lack of follow through and customer service I will never place an order here again. We all make mistakes and face issues, how a company handles them demonstrates their quality and this company is low.
