Sharing some of my sulawesi shrimps photos

**seudzar** · 28th Apr 2013, 00:55

It's been a long time I posted my sulawesi shrimps. I move out from my mum place to my new place where I set up my new tank. Half of my cardina dennerli population died when I move them to a new tank at my new place. Now slowly waiting for the population to build up. Added in some Malili red, blue leg poso and white orchid.

I must say, your specimens are fantastic. Are you breeding the C. dennerli at home?

**oiishi** · 28th Apr 2013, 07:52

Very nice. More tanks coming soon?

**marco** · 28th Apr 2013, 08:44

Do they cross breed

**AQMS** · 28th Apr 2013, 08:53

Nice. So you gonna have a bigger tank in your own place??

**seudzar** · 28th Apr 2013, 10:26

Initially it's a less than 1 ft cube at my mum place. Cardina dennerli breed like mad. So I change to a 56L tank at my new place. Now cardina dennerli, blue leg and white orchid starts to breed like mad also.. Lol

Macro, they do not cross breed

Do you mind to share how to set up a Sulawesi tank? They are beautiful but I dare not venture into them as I have no idea how to setup one.

**seudzar** · 28th Apr 2013, 16:27

The setup is the same as most of the shrimps setup. Except the stuffs (rocks and sand) are all inert. Main thing lies on the water quality which we can play. The water I used is distilled water plus salty shrimps sulawesi minerals 8.5. The amount of minerals to add are stated on the minerals container. The minerals are readily available at GC, C328 and Y618.

Tank cycling is the same as what the other members did when they setup for their tank for CRS and the rest of the shrimps. Unlike the rest of the shrimps, they need a lot of hiding place. They will hide most of the time as they are not used to the surrounding, once they got used to the surrounding, they will feed in the open.

If you need more help, do pm me.

Hi Stormhawk, yes, I am breeding c. Dennerli at home. Population has increased but still very small and I know they are pretty stable.

Über nice. Always had the temptation to try Sulawesi shrimps but till now, still hasn't had the courage to take the plunge. Great to see a successful Sulawesi shrimp keeper.

**huizhong** · 30th Apr 2013, 07:53

wow beautiful! would love to see all the tanks!

**seudzar** · 30th Apr 2013, 08:43

Thank you Cherabin and huizhong for your kind comment. I have know a few successful Sulawesi shrimp keepers and they seldom post in the forum. It is very interesting to see them feeding everyday.

Wow! Now you are getting me very itchy all over to start a sulawesi tank.
I tried about a year back was not successful. I will be "disturbing" you soon..hehehe

Hi Seudzar,

Do you mind sharing your water parameters?

Btw what species is that in the 5th picture?

**seudzar** · 30th Apr 2013, 16:52

Hi black snow, I never measure my water parameters. I only measure the Tds which is 158 currently. Just using salty shrimp sulawesi minerals 8.5 and distilled water

Think the shrimp on picture no. 5 is called red spotted bee shrimp. It was mixed with the 6 banded bee shrimp that I got a couple of months ago. Unfortunely the 6 banded bee did not make it when they in my tank.
