Do the Females of " New sulawesi " keep their color ? or Do they change with substrate color or Mood ? Do the Males have any Color / Marking Variations ? If you think you need at least 2 tanks for this species, wait until I post pictures of my blue C. sulawesi that I separated from the mai...

I read elsewhere on the forums that if all the shrimps do die off to get a few hardy fish while the tank matures If you want to spend the extra money on Fish that you do not really want, to mature/season your tank you can. I prefer to use Snails ( Not Pond Snails ) to help Season the Tank after the...

The Shrimp Pictured are not Sri Lanka Dwarf Shrimp.
Caridina simoni simoni

If I am not mistaken,
They are a Macro. Species and look very similar to Macrobrachium lanchesteri

Hey Mustafa, It is Great to hear that there will soon be another Shrimp available to the Hobby. Less ornate/colorful Males with RED antennae. and Variable Colored Females. This will be a interesting species to work with. I can see having 2 tanks for these. One for Selective Breeding and One for Colo...

Hey zapisto
It is nice to see you back.

but mustafa give me the little kick

Mustafa did not have to give me a kick,
I have been kicking myself, ever since I got out a few years ago.

Myself i am preparing to make a come back to the hobby after being out for a while.

Looking forward to it.

One question, though, won't the rubber "gasket" in the union deteriorate at some point? Seeing that this is not a pressurized system, deterioration should be kept to a minimum. wouldn't you have to cut the union out and replace it? If for some reason I did have to replace a Rubber O-Ring,...

I really never thought of them as a Food Source.
Fish Breeders are always looking for a New Live Food.

I was hoping to get a colony going and Replacing the " Sea Monkey "
What a great way to get children into the Shrimp Hobby.
And they will be interesting to have in my Invert Room.

Now that my Caridina sulawesi arrived and are settling into their new home. I was doing a little more reading on them in the Species Descriptions Pages and noticed that the first Berried Female is carrying Green Eggs http://www.petshrimp.com/images/csulawesi4.jpg and the second Berried Female is car...

Bob, Thanks for the information. As soon as it warms up a little, I will be attempting to locate them. I have pinpointed a couple of spots that they were collected before. The only problem is, that most of the shoreline is private High $$$ Homes and I do not own a boat. Lake Michigan " The Big ...

We all make mistakes, once in awhile.
Just so we learn from them

I tried to Cut-n-Paste the Chart you were referring too.
But, it would not paste correctly.

Keep Us updated on the progress of your Tank.

Thanks for the Updated Pictures.
How many Yellow Shrimp did you end up with ?

Thanks for sharing the Video.
He is still a little guy, How old is He ?
Please keep the Pictures / Videos coming as he grows.

The Compatibility Chart is a good start.
Another thing to take into consideration is the Water Parameters that your Red Cherry Shrimp ( RCS ) are in now and the water requirements for Crystal Red Shrimp ( CRS ).
If they are different, a slow acclimation may be needed.

NO MORE BUCKETS For Water Changes. There was a little more progress in the Invert Room this weekend. ( 2 ) Racks Systems are now connected to the Sewer System. Never mind the Dates on the pictures, I changed the batteries in the camera and this was the default date. http://i44.photobucket.com/album...
