Newly bought Sulawesi babes

[joydiv]

If they survive past a month then perhaps you add more of them.

Anyone else have bought them? Can share how is your upkeep of them? Thinking of adding a couple more.

I just bought 5 from there last weekend. Nice shrimps.

Hi ! Folks,

I have had set up a Sulawesi tank on Depavali holiday. Have brought 10 pcs together with 1 Sulawesi rock at Thomson LFS. It was a ad-hoc set-up,so I bought some coral stone, chips and fine sand.

My was a 1ft tank filled with aged water & used a current tank submerse filter to cycle the tank 6 hours and release the shrimps with the bag water.

It about 3 weeks now, after twice 20% water change with soaked coral chip. So far lost only 1 shrimp to date .

Currently the shrimps are feeding well but not very active. Spent most time hiding or guarding their estabished territory .Have added another 2 pc of sulawei rock and 1 sulawei snail yesterday. Hope that it improve the tank envirovment.

Will take tank photo when lighting is install early Dec.

Cheers !

With the recent earthquake in Sulawesi, not sure if the supply decreased and price of the shrimps increase?

I'm toying with the thoughts of setting a tank up for sulawesis. Does anyone know if moss and nanas will survive in higher ph waters? If not, what would the recommended plants be?

Good luck with the shrimps. i feel you can't tell from just 3 days. Getting more at this moment will mean more death later on...hope im wrong though...

Natural View sulawesi tank only has a few sulawesi snails, 1 small sulawesi rock and a sponge air filter but the shrimps in there still breeds. (under his filter) The water he used is the same aged water for his cherries, sakura and CRS.
