They are really pretty...much more so than one would be led to believe from the on-line descriptions. They aren't Sulawesies. They come from India and South East Asia. I've read they are normally found in brackish water but do fine in fresh--don't know if that is true. Mine are doing fine and don't seem hard to keep. They like a planted tank and like all the shrimp are extremely sensitive to ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. Apparently they prefer slightly soft water. Temperature: 72F-80F, PH: 7.5- 8.5.
All that pretty much describes my tank...and so far so good!
