    Dear All,

    Just a brief intro...
    Gave up shrimp rearing around 4 to 5 years (back in 2006 since I first registered) back and never thought that I will pick up this hobby again. Previously was keeping some Cherry but all dead.

    Coming back this time, gotten 2 tanks. One tank for my Mexican Dwarf Crayfish another for my Sulawesi Shrimps. So far taking the advices from the shop owners in the LFS and the shrimps and crayfish are all alive and well.

    Just like to check, which LFS in Singapore got a good variety of Sulawesi Shrimps?
    I currently got the Cardinal and White Orchid from CRS Haven. Was hoping to get other species too.

    Went to C328 and Y618, don't seems to have any there...

    Please advise. Thank you.

    I don't think there is a lot of variety at C328.
    I used to buy quite a lot there, come back always die.
    The water condition not so good,as the tank too packed.

    Any good place to get sulawesi besides C328,Y618 and CRS Haven?
    These are very common LFS.
    Maybe someone can share some secret hiding spots.
    I know at Lor Halus there is a farm selling sulawesi,but not too sure the exact name.

    Wow.. Your pocket must be qite deep o.o
    But both y618 and c328 have the most variety in my opinion. You'll have cardinals, white orchids, harlequins, yelow cheeks, spinata and the red goldflakes.

    Nice. Hope they can grow well and survive long term.
    @ Cristiano: They need a very well cycled and matured tank to survive in. Maybe you should let your tank mature a while longer?

    Re: Which LFS got a good variety of Sulawesi Shrimps?

    Currently got 7 species in my tank, 2 shrimps per species.
    If all goes well, will upgrade from an IQ3 to IQ5 and maybe increase the quantity to 4 per species.
    Not sure if that is a good idea or a bigger tank is more preferred...

    Re: Which LFS got a good variety of Sulawesi Shrimps?

    Hi, just got into the hobby of shrimping

    Have been reading quite a fair bit before going into it.
    Just setup a small tank with some mixtures of shrimp in it.

    I kinda got interested in the Sulawesi shrimps and got a few to put in it. Mainly harlequin, dark maroon and cardinal...
    There are also other cheap shrimps in it... So far do good... No casualty yet...

    Will try to post some pictures later...
