Sulawesi Shrimp, otherwise known as Caridina dennerli are a species of freshwater shrimp native to small lake systems in Indonesia. It takes its name from the German company Dennerle, which supported the expedition that led to the scientific description of the species. It is commonly known as the cardinal shrimp in the aquarium hobby. These shrimp require a rather specific setup due to their isolated evolution. Follow my quick guide to ensure your aquarium is properly set up for your future shrimp!

i love this hardscape
ty for sharing
Thank you! It's becoming one of my favourite tanks pretty quickly.
@@BobMossNanoTanks yea yeah
i will setup my new sula tank like you :)
Excellant set up! Looks fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much! Still trying to figure out the pH...
I hear you, it’s difficult having a high ph and low tds at the same time. I breed shelldwellers from lake tanganyika they also need a high ph, but are not picky about tds in fact I think they prefer high tds. I use aragonite sand that keeps the ph high. Really enjoying your channel sir!💯⭐️
Excellent Job!
thank you, one of my favourite scapes
I like that setup
You just made
Very nice
Keep yourn shrimp hand strong 🖖
Thank you so much! I am in love with this scape, can't wait for the sulawesi
Love it🍀
thank you! I should be getting sulawesi very soon as well!
So spectacular and so super great my dear friend :)
Thank you! Excited to get my hands on these guys
I smacked my monitor before you even said it, I saw seed shrimps and I kept smacking to "hopefully" make them go away. But on a lighter and less violent note, you sold me on ramshorns, I got 2 for myself and I wanna see if they can make babies while being the gentle gardeners for my susswassertang haha! I would love those Sulawesi shrimps too but man like you know in canada we get power outtages in some areas for days, even here in Montreal, and that would slaughter them unless I light a campfire next to them , or build my entire setup in an ugly insulation box 🤣 Anyways have a great day man, loved the video.
Spoiler, all the Sulawesi died lol. It's not a neocaridina tank.
I hope I can do better than you when I try, my entire plan is dependent upon LUCK 🤪👍@@BobMossNanoTanks
Great setup! I wish i can find some Sulawesi in the UK but no luck so far. You just put your neos in the tank and you already have full tank of seed shrimps😂
I am the best seed shrimp breeder on YT, what can I say? Lol
Tropco have them mate, got 12 of them cominng my way on wednesday :-) You can often find them on EBay too
I got my friend Mich from ShrimpFX.ca grabbing me some from montreal actually :) they should be here this week I hope.
Very Interesting !! 👍
Now I have to find the buggers!
@@BobMossNanoTanks Understand that, I'm looking for Purple Metallic BOA right now, $80 - $150 each is the best I can find, to high for me. Does Canada use the "Band" application, it's a Auction platform and shrimp people have a spot or two.
@@arcticwinds6125 omg that's insane shrimp pricing.
I have heard of band, I'll have to take a look
I be got a heater from eheim it’s fantastic, I check my temp all the time and it never budges
I am leaning towards eheim myself based on reviews.
@@BobMossNanoTanks made in Germany, can’t go wrong
@@BobMossNanoTanks yeah from what I see online they’re some of the most reliable high end heaters. And they’re not that much more $ than the cheaper ones really when you think about a multi year investment.
@@Alniemi i actually made a spreadsheet scoring them based on reviews I saw an the eheim easily came out on top
How did this turn out? I also have been eye some most expsesivest ass shrimp and I GOTTA have them! Did this setup work for you?
I got ten and they all died. It's now a neocaridina tank lol. I cannot get my minerals to dissolve properly so the pH never got high enough. It was extremely frustrating on my end.
Nobody else notice the substrate rocks and everything else crawling? Those seed shrimp? I've never had those, I assume they are totally fine and probably help cycling and maturing the tank.....but dayyyyum....its crawling. Grim. But love the idea of sulaweisi, im considering getting them myself as my tap water sits at about 7.5 PH.
It's because I ghost feed to cycle the tank so there is an excess of food for a few weeks. They clear up over time with reduced feeding.
I never heard of anyone who was able to keep Sulawesi in tap water! This will be interesting.
I do have the buffer now in case but my tap water is 7.8ph, 4kh and 8gh which is nearly spot on for sulawesi
@@BobMossNanoTanks oh nice! They’re so sensitive and expensive I’ve never heard of anyone keeping them in tap water even if the parameters are good. People usually just don’t want to take the risk. I’m really interested to see how it works out for you! Hopefully you have luck and they will do well! I can’t wait to see them! I love Sulawesi I’ve been considering setting up a tank for them. I have a Bloody Mary tank and a Blue Bolt tank right now and I’m currently cycling one for some Shadow Masuras. 🤦🏻♀️ what’s one more tank tho right? 🤣
@@BigShrimpin416 that's what I tell the wife lol, what's one more tank? 12 tanks later hahaha
@@BobMossNanoTanks 🤣🤣 hey, quick question, do you know what kills detritus worms? I can’t get rid of those little bastards!!
@@BigShrimpin416 h202 spot treatments will actually kill them but be careful that you don't put too much in the tank at once, no more than 3mL per 10 gallons IMO.
How are these guys doing?
To be honest,it's a bloody mary neocaridina tank now. no luck with the sulawesi
@@BobMossNanoTanks welp just dropped 110 on 4 after shipping we'll see what happens 🤦♂️
@@Outside-InAquatics just have patience. I could never figure out my pH, I think I got a bad batch of salty shrimp tbh.
did you turn on the lights 24 hrs for 7 days?
I did not. It's a good way to get your biofilm kickstarted but I have everything on a timer so I just kept it with that.
Bro your edits are hilarious 😂😢
thanks so much! i try to have fun here lol
U have my subb just for name 😂❤
thank you! welcome to the club!
I actually slapped my screen! I take it back. Since your married and a Dad doesn’t mean you have to stop swearing blooper real! Come on maaan!
Lol it's not that I don't swear anymore but when I film and do voiceover it's alot easier to get things right on the first takes. Also editing time has been limited so I've been hitting delete rather than moving them to the end of the timeline.
Where's the update?
Did it during a stream rather than a standalone video. I'll save you the trouble if you sub ;) haha
They died. Its a neocaridina tank for now
@@BobMossNanoTanks I already subbed daddy
I need an update on this. I was plant shopping today and the LFS had a tank full of sulawesi that had just come in for just $10 US. I've got a 36 gallon cycling right now with tap water that is a little too hard but I could easily cut with some RO. My cull tank has tap water that is growing MONSTER cherry culls so it should be safe beyond the hardness. I've checked multiple sites and every one has different info ranging from "not that hard" to "basically God damn impossible". I need Bob Moss to give me the truth.
Truth is... I killed them all.
My pH dropped to like 7.8 from 8.2 and they kind of just... disappeared. Assuming the snails / neos ate the bodies. I am having a big issues figuring out how to dissolve this stupid sulawesi mineral. The most important factors seem to be pH and temp, if you have those down then the shrimp don't seem to be too difficult. Clearly my pH was not spot on.
@@BobMossNanoTanks Oh man. Sorry to hear that. I had already cooled off on my initial excitement because I realized I was about to get in over my head. I'm pretty bad about keeping my pH rock solid for some reason, so this just confirms I would have wasted my money. I know Marks Shrimp Tanks made a video about having to use his DIY CO2 rig for like 2 days to dissolve the salt mix or it didn't mix correctly. Others said to heat up some water and mix a concentrated amount in, then add it to the final amount you're using, but that's some serious trial and error with evaporation from the heating. That really sucks that they didn't make it. My wife will be relieved to hear that I'm not going to try those expensive ass shrimp.
Oh yeah, then when Mark got all the mix sorted, his heater bugged out and cooked them all anyways.
@@jakefwtx4214 Ya, I gotta figure out the params and then I'm gonna try again. I am determined to have some sulawesi.
@@BobMossNanoTanks I haven't done the research all that in depth, but I have noticed on other sulawesi tanks, people seems to skip the plants. Given that the KH is going to be relatively moderate with the pH needing to be constant, could the plants be throwing it off? I know I've seen people say that plants can fluctuate pH due to CO2 being consumed during daylight hours but not at night, so pH can be lower in the morning. Without that big boy KH value, it may be enough to cause problems for them. Just a thought I suddenly had.
High five bud
thank you so much for those twitch donations btw, i'm always afk when you drop in!
@@BobMossNanoTanks Cheers bud
Are your Sulawesi Cardinals still alive?
They are good at hiding but I see a couple everyday.
