Sulawesi shrimp (*yellow cheek) and longirostrus shrimp

[Death Pony]

I like the Sulawesis a lot. I'd get some if my betta was nicer.

these are the sulawesi's to get, these and the spongicola (cardinals) are the two most forgiving species for home aquaria. I have tried several species now, and these by far acclimated the best. I still would recommend express shipping and appropriate parameters, but they dont' need the extremes that others seem to.

Precisely what are appropriate parameters for them? I've been thinking about a new 29 gallon shrimp tank after I figure out how to hook up the R/O unit (bought it used, w/out directions) in the basement.

LOVE the shrimp and snails Rach... very tempting to try my hand at some of those fine looking suluwasi's - suluwas'i ( what ever the plural is!!) and I have been wanting a tylo since like forever!!

They like warmer temps, 80-84. Higher pH (7.5-8.3) and a gh and kh between 2-6.
