Freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi

[Edmundo]

When to C328 today and stumbled upon this fascinating invertebrate. Anyone here keeps them? Honestly tempted to try but too bad no tank to do so...

Some info i gathered:
PH : 7.5-8.2
Temp: 26 - 29degree

Some drooling pics

I am keeping in my 1 feet nano. 4 sp, total 8 pcs....Have passed the critical 2 weeks period, no problem. One died because I took out a small DW without checking too much :o

Temp 28 C
pH 8+

clean oxgenated flowing water.

I just checked, bought on Feb 20. My fav is the wine red with blue spots but cant get pics, hiding too well. I got a pair each sp., total 8. Also another blue pair which I am trying to id.

I used Gex soil and add half layer of coral chips...something about soil (gh?) combined with high pH to simulate the biotope water parameters.

Eat spirulina flakes and I replace some floating plants from outdoor tank every other day into their tank to introduce algae (their natural diet)...maybe this is my "secret to success"...touch wood:p

At most it fight with my papa L81 lah, so if really need my help, can let your pseuda stay over.
Just moved that fellow up to my red aro tank, as the bio load is too high in the lower tank with 3 scobbies & the HBRTG + 2 small ITs :p
