I love the Sulawesi shrimp most. Their intense color, long antennae and mannerism make them look like coral reef shrimp. Are they hard to keep. What water parameters do they need.

You have lot of ramshorn snails in your shrimp tanks. Aren't you concerned about over population. I think they bully and out compete shrimp for food.

Sullawesi is another shrimps.. .
they need hot waters, and another mineral...
high ph.
They are not hard to keep, you must run a tank for long time to make lot of biofilm, they dont eat the foods like other shrimps.
Ramshorn yes they are lot ... i move them in another bucket.. :)

Nice shrimp as always, I wanted to let you know I stole your glass feeding dish idea. I grabbed a few glass petri dish and I use them during feeding so less food ends up in the substrate, much cleaner now, thanks. I can just quickly suck up the leftovers with a small hose.
