if its shrimp u want, i heard they can be a pain to ship and keep alive.

sulawesi shrimp are not soft water shirmp like crs. from what i understand, they need hard, alkaline water with a temp of 80+ degrees.

my advice would be to use crushed coral sand, large stones and grass like plants to emulate the sulawesi biotope. the presence of tylo snails help sulawesi shrimp adjust.

I will try and get a picture of mine. I use flourite as a substrate in one and sand in the other. They are challenging to keep

i am trying to set up a sulawesi tank. waiting for my shipment of shrimp to come from
indonesia. Just wanted to know what kind of setup people are doing for their sulawesi shrimp. Right now i guess my setup looks like an african cichlid setup

They like high pH but not necessarily hard water. I keep my tank with a pH of 8.0 but wiht a gh of 6 and a kh of 6. Temp is 82. I use texas holey rock and do a mix of ro with my tap.
