Sulawesi sound good
If you are serious about these they need very high ph and higher temp than most other shrimp to survive GH 8, KH 8, and PH 8.2 at approx 28°/29° C otherwise you will be wasting your money over a short period of time watching them die, I have managed to start and get these to breed and thrive with these tank stats, its close to their natural environment as I can managed and it is starting to pay off I imported my first lot of dennerli from a breeder in Germany as the selection over here is so so poor they are reported to be very very 'delicate" but this is only true when kept in the wrong conditions

How about Bamboo shrimp Lisa? These were just brown in the fish shop, in the tank this one is red and the other is orange. Really pretty and nice and big. Recognise his pal in the picture with him?

I might get some of them for the bigger tanks:yes: and yup I recognise him lol

Have one lonesone cherry shrimp in the nano, seems happy enough. Got another 3 to find and catch in the 180 litre:cry:


The glossostigma is going mad as a floating plant as well as planted, removing it pretty regularly and adding to the 180 litre
