I just send Gerd Voss from germany an email to order white bee shrimps
I hope to meet his wife when i visit my sister next month in germany. Gerd was willing to let his wife bring the shrimps to Düsseldorf where se visits her mother often, so the shrimps won't have to travel by courier for 3 days. I can't wait to get my beautyfull shrmps

Congrats Antoinette! Gerd is a very nice guy. We've known each other for a while and we met about 3 weeks ago in Germany. Those white bee shrimp are extremely beautiful (I have some myself). They are white with *blue* eggs!!
You'll love them.
Take care,
Mustafa

Here are some pictures of just males:

However, females with eggs look spectacular since the eggs are really blue/turquoise colored.
I'll post pictures soon once my females start carrying eggs, which will be in a few weeks hopefully.
