Please Rate These Shrimp...

...from hardiest/easiest to keep to least hardy...if that makes sense. I would just like to know which would be the best choice. Also, I have rather high ph. Something to keep in mind.

Crystal Red Shrimp (A Grade), Bee Shrimp, Blue Bee Shrimp, Golden Bee Shrimp, Super Tiger Shrimp, Orange Eye Blue Tiger Shrimp

Thanks!

None of them are "easy" per se, no matter how much some people out there may claim one or the other species breeds like "rabbits" for them (as them for how many generations and you're usually met with silence). "bee" shrimp could refer to several species out there, so you must be specific about what species you mean. The tiger shrimp are all the same species, so they are about the same "hardiness level." The CRS and the "golden bee shrimp" are the same species, too, and the same applies to them. The tiger shrimp tend to be slightly hardier in my experience. Having said that, if you don't know what you are doing even the supposedly "hardy" red cherry shrimp will just up and die in no time. Shrimp are, generally, much more demanding than fish.
