Of Sulawesi Shrimps

[Draka]

The first seems to be orange delight and the third red orchid. Haha do you have answers please?

[Matt]

Greetings from Sulawesi!

Draka, seriously, I am not certain with my own answers. The first one is probably Red spotted bee 3rd is most probable a Mini Blue Bee. Red Orchids would have more obvious white stripes and markings on the body.

[Draka]

Haha so that's where you getting those photos?! Or is it from the holding tank? Hope you are enjoying yourself! An update for you from my experiment by the way, I still have too much magnesium in my system! One starry molted and then died, most likely failed to form shell.

[Matt]

Those are taken from my tank. I have yet to visit the supplier yet. Will do so early morning and hopefully able to update more.

Have you reduced the content yet? You will probably need to reduce by a whole lot and conduct a large WC to stabilize the condition I guess. Talking about magnesium, any way to identify or recognize or test the limestone that you told me about?

I have brought some distilled water over from my office just to test the rocks and limestone here and their effect on the water. Mainly interested to know the effect over ph, GH and KH. If they have anything that is able to leech so that the water buffers nicely, I think we can replace the corals chip/bits/sand. And probably solve a lot of problems, but that is another set of test altogether.

[Draka]

Unfortunately no. Otherwise I wouldn't have "overdosed". Limestone all look like limestone sorry Limestone all fizzle in acid, regardless of type. Yep conducting water change.

[Matt]

Then it's time to reduce contents to strike a balance? As for the limestone, I think I'll just buy a few pieces to experiment then.

Matt I heard that Sulawesi suffered a tornado and suffered a serious damage. Are you alright there ?!

I've been running around today and been busy. Did not observe anything strange nor see things flying though half the time, I'm sleeping through the journey.

Hahahaha! You think too much already! But is the farm any where accessible? If I am not wrong, the farm you are at is the probably the one that I know of, aristo..something right? How are things there like?

Bro, you also think too much already!! Aristocratama is not in Sulawesi itself, though they have support farms here. Their main warehouse where visitors can view and purchase by invitation is at Jakarta. . The place where I liaise for the livestocks is nowhere near that kind of scale. In fact, I would say this place is quite inaccessible and hard to locate. Not to mention, quite rundown as well.

[Draka]

Lol you think too much already... Just will be pity to lose nice bro like you.

[Matt]

Oh yes I understand bro was just kidding

Wah! By invitation only? Are they really that upclass that it's only by invitation? Unless they are worried about the authorities clamping down on them. I recently sent them a request for their price list. Maybe you want to take a look (I think it's slightly pricey).

And where did you even get this kind of "kangtao", all these "ulu" farms? Haha, be safe then!
