Sulawesi Shrimp

Sulawesi Shrimp are a category of freshwater shrimp that is very different from the more common Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp that most hobbyists tend to keep. There are many types that derive from the 5 main ancient, stable lakes, rivers and tributaries. They are typically very colorful and many have vibrant colors and patterns. Many of these types are not for beginner level hobbyists, as they are very sensitive to parameters and parameter swings, but some are easier than others. Some are very easy to keep, and can live in the same environment as Neocaridina shrimp. These are typically the ones found in rivers and tributaries, with the very sensitive ones coming from the ancient, stable lake system.
